What you can do with it
Typical work that data of this type supports.
- 01
Design storms
Build rainfall intensity-duration-frequency curves for drainage design.
Because it has: Rainfall Maps
- 02
Model input
Drive hydrological, crop and urban drainage models.
- 03
Hotspots and trends
Find where contamination is high and whether it is getting worse.
Because it has: Chlorophyll
Where AI adds value
Ideas for machine learning and AI agents built on this kind of data.
- 01
Downscaling
Turn coarse rainfall grids into field or ward scale estimates.
- 02
Gauge + satellite fusion
Correct satellite rainfall with gauges using machine learning.
- 03
Risk maps
Predict contamination where no samples exist, from geology, land use and climate.
