Healthy waters are the foundation of human health, biodiversity and climate resilience.
We are convinced: the better we understand waters, the earlier and more effectively we can protect them.
Understand waters better.
In-situ
monitoring.
Solar-powered, autonomous sensor stations for lakes, rivers and reservoirs. Multi-parameter measurement from oxygen to chlorophyll, automatic alerts and optional active measures.

Water
intelligence.
Satellite time series, in-situ measurement networks, historical archives and official data in one consistent picture. We connect what used to sit apart – so that water bodies become understandable as a system.

Monitoring
& MRV.
Measuring, reporting, verifying: the methodological framework that turns readings into robust reports and well-founded decisions.

Running projects.
Two pieces of evidence that the system works in continuous operation – on the shore and from orbit.
21 WAMOs on the
lake district network.
21 WAMO measurement stations supply the districts of Mecklenburgische Seenplatte and Vorpommern-Greifswald with continuous water data all year round – hourly instead of every four to six weeks.

Reading waters
from space.
SWIM analyses satellite data from the EU Copernicus programme and makes the condition of water bodies visible across entire areas – including where no station is installed, and retrospectively over decades.

Day to day and in an emergency.
A measuring point that only waits for a flood stands idle most of the time. Day to day, the same station gives you water levels, dry spells and operating data – and in an emergency a situational picture that is not being used for the first time.
Water level, oxygen and temperature are recorded continuously – as a basis for maintenance, management and record-keeping.
Solar and battery instead of a mains connection, several transmission paths instead of one. Measurement continues when power and mobile networks fail.
Every alert is documented with trigger, timestamp, recipient and acknowledgement – still traceable months later.
What is used every day has also been tested when it matters. Assessing the situation and deciding what follows remain with the competent authority – we supply the data behind it.
Your water body deserves
a clear picture.
A free trial analysis for your catchment, or a demo unit for one season – we find the right entry point.
From the water,
from orbit.

How a Lake Tips – four stages, one cascade
Eutrophication does not run linearly. An interactive cross-section shows what happens between oligotrophic and hypertrophic – and why response comes too late once the lake has tipped.
