What's inside

  • Remote Sensing
  • Water Infrastructure
  • Flood Data

What you can do with it

Typical work that data of this type supports.

  1. 01

    Hazard maps

    Map flood-prone areas and who and what is exposed.

    Because it has: Flood Data

  2. 02

    Model validation

    Check flood models against observed events.

  3. 03

    No-gauge areas

    Monitor places with no ground stations.

    Because it has: Remote Sensing

Where AI adds value

Ideas for machine learning and AI agents built on this kind of data.

  1. 01

    Flood extent from SAR

    Segment flooded areas in radar imagery, even through cloud.

  2. 02

    Depth estimates

    Learn flood depth from terrain, rainfall and past events.

  3. 03

    Segmentation

    Map water, crops and land use pixel by pixel with deep learning.
