Worlwide HYdrological Large-scale Database

vorteX.io offers an innovative and intelligent service for monitoring hydrological surfaces, using in-situ remote sensing instruments, based on compact light-weight altimeter inspired from satellite technology: the micro-stations©. It provides in real time, with a high frequency and accuracy, hydro-meteorological parameters (water surface height, water surface velocity, images & videos) of the observed watercourses. The combination of these in-situ data with satellite measurements is thus optimal for downstream services related to water resources management and assessment of flood/drought risks. Thanks to the development of the innovative micro-station© and the onboard processing using artificial intelligence algorithms, the WHYLD project will provide an anytime/anywhere real time hydro-meteorological database to prevent communities from flood risks and secure goods anywhere at any time. The project thus aims to cover the whole Europe through a non-binding turnkey service.
