Surface Water.
Challenge
Natural water is a critical and overexploited resource, proper management of it is mandatory. Both public and private organizations must find new ways of reducing anthropogenic impact thus increasing accessibility of the water. Proper management of this resource allows a fairer distribution and use of water and significant cost savings from minimizing the impact of flood, drought, and other environmental extremes.
Remote sensing is critical for understanding ecological and hydrological processes. Using techniques that leverage satellite imagery, we can complement ground observations and model the spatial-temporal dynamics of surface water to understand historical behaviors and predict future ones. With space data, we enable a global overview of an area of interest, obtaining more extensive information than is possible with local sampling (single point).
Aistech Solution
Surface Water Monitoring
We process several kind remote sensing imagery (optical, NIR, TIR, SAR) that can combine with ground data to understand the dynamics of bodies of water, and build predictive models to anticipate how they will change in the future. With this knowledge, organizations can mitigate or prevent negative effects from water-related environmental impact, flooding, droughts, and un-sanctioned usage to safeguard the environment, nearby communities, and assets.
Bathymetry Analysis
Understanding the dynamics of a body of water not only implies using information on surface changes, but also analyzing changes in depth. To this end, Aistech leverages its expertise in bathymetry to provide three-dimensional analysis of bodies of water, enabling Aistech to generate more accurate surface water models and insights.
Land Use Analysis
To obtain a more complete awareness of the use of water resources, an organization needs to not only analyze the water, but also the external agents that influence it. To this end, Aistech provides 360º surface water models that analyze near-by land uses to help organizations understand what, when, why and who can be associated to water changes. This enables organizations to attribute pollution to sources and mitigate its effects.
Water Quality.
Challenge
Water Quality is an important indicator of physical, chemical, biological, and microbiological characteristics of water within oceans, seas, lakes and rivers.
Agro-fish farmers, regional governments, and financing institutions require continuous information about water quality in order to ensure the suitability of water.
Industrial activities can have a significant and adverse impact on water sources:
- Pollution of waterways from discharged substances into surface waters or groundwater without prior treatment .
- Chemical spills or leaks, trade effluent, silt accumulation or agrochemical runoff.
- Altered distribution of water from land use and infrastructure changes, e.g. the deforestation which alters plant stem water flow, infiltration rate and evapotranspiration processes. At a local level, changing water flows can affect water availability and quality.
- Industrial and agricultural withdrawal – over exploitation of water resources can decrease long term capacity and force operations to be displaced to more secure water areas.
Using satellite imagery, Aistech can help organizations monitor water quality and detect and predict industry effects to drive better responses to safeguard water sources.

Water Quality Assessment and Monitoring
Remote sensing using satellite imagery such as SAR, optical, and thermal is a cost efficient approach for comprehensive assessment and monitoring of water quality and it provides several advantages, such as non-intrusive, extensive reach to cover large areas, and a reduced need for in situ measurements. This type of analysis can help organizations monitor large areas to understand the impact that industrial activities are having on local water sources and respond to them sooner.
Algal Blooms Monitoring
Algal blooms present a major challenge, as they are often instigated by pollution and changing temperature and can kill a variety of marine and freshwater life through eutrophication. Usually these blooms give a distinct coloration visible in imagery, such as the red tide, although the coloration does vary depending on the type of bloom.
Variation in chlorophyll is one major variable in algal blooms in the area. Over large bodies of water, chlorophyll can be evaluated using optical multispectral imagery, helping organizations to detect and mitigate the impact of algal blooms.
Fishery.
Challenge
Organizations throughout the fishing and aquaculture industry require accurate, recurrent information to understand present water conditions and predict them in the future to make better decisions about where to fish and where to invest in new fish farms.
By combining satellite imagery with in situ data, we can deliver operational situational awareness across large areas that traditional methods cannot cover, identifying locations where conditions are best, where they do not meet desired parameters, and how they will change in the future.
Aistech Solution
Fishing Intelligence Platform
Aistech develops customized predictive models using satellite imagery to measure relevant water condition parameters such as chlorophyll levels and salinity to provide specific real-time recommendations of locations with a high probability of good fish harvest through a platform that can integration with the organization’s own data and other sources.
Fish Farm Monitoring
Aistech combines satellite imagery with in situ data to deliver recurrent, accurate water condition monitoring in aquaculture farms and areas of interest and develops predictive models to understand how these will change over time. With this monitoring system, organizations can protect their farms from unfavorable conditions, and choose sites for future investments with the right conditions to cultivate productive farms.
