Water Resources Forecaster
Digital solutions
Supporting the future of water resource management
Managing water resources is becoming increasingly complex due to climate change, population growth and changing demand patterns. Organisations must balance water supply, environmental protection and regulatory requirements, often with limited visibility of future considerations.
By combining data from climate forecasts, environmental datasets and operational systems into a single, accessible view, Water Resources Forecaster enables organisations to move from reactive management to proactive planning, improving confidence in decisions across water systems.
Stay ahead of water uncertainty
Water Resources Forecaster enables organisations to manage water systems more proactively by improving how they anticipate and respond to changes in availability. It supports scenario analysis and multiple forecast simulations to understand uncertainty, plan better and improve operational decision-making by providing a clear, evidence-based view of future conditions.
As a result, organisations can reduce the risks associated with water scarcity, improve how they allocate resources, and strengthen resilience across their systems. It also supports compliance and sustainable water management practices, helping clients respond effectively to long-term challenges such as climate change and population growth.
Improved forward planning and preapredness
Provides early insight into future water availability, enabling proactive action before issues arise.
Reduced operational and environmental risk
Helps organisations manage risks such as drought, supply constraints and environmental impact more effectively.
Greater confidence in decision-making under uncertainty
Supports better decisions by combining data, modelling and scenario analysis into a clear, usable view.
We have seen a lot of 'academic' initiatives that don't translate into practice. This is real and useful.

Key capabilities
Advanced algorithm
Implements an advanced algorithm to automatically update the hydrological model states to match real-time observed river flow conditions before simulating forecasts.
Seamless data
Integrates meteorological and hydrological data from national weather services, government agencies and your own hydrometric and operational data feeds.
Provides tailored dashboards
Designed in an interactive web application, the interface provides user friendly outputs that allow for detailed individual and system wide review with bespoke automatic reporting.
Innovatively prepared weather series
Enables probabilistic resource forecasts, providing the best possible assessment of future conditions to feed into risk-based decision making.
Smarter forecasting
Overcomes traditional data and modelling limitations to deliver accurate, timely forecasts and what-if scenario analysis, providing near real-time visibility of water resource status and future availability.
Safety, access and security
Hosted on Moata, Mott MacDonald’s secure digital platform, the tool delivers cloud-based forecasting with advanced security, user authentication, data encryption and automated backups for reliable, protected access.
