Short-term
Hourly forecasts for the next 10 days so you can improve tactical planning and optimize operations.
Forecast with clarity,
act with confidence
From hourly operations to seasonal planning, HydroForecast gives you the most accurate view of future streamflow — powered by AI and backed by deep hydrologic expertise.
Industry-leading streamflow forecasts
HydroForecast offers best-in-class forecasting solutions to meet your needs across horizons. Plan for streamflow events hours, days, weeks, months, and even decades into the future with the accuracy and reliability your operations demand.
Have a more complex water management challenge? Let's talk.
If you're looking for longer term forecasts at scale, regional generation insights, or historical analyses, we also offer custom forecast solutions.
Short-term
Seasonal
Daily forecasts out 90 days so you can make more informed seasonal water-supply decisions.
Annual
Daily forecasts up to 1 year out for improved strategic long-term planning.
Maximize revenue, minimize risk, operate with certainty
Revenue
Earn more from every megawatt
Schedule generation and bid into peak-price market windows. Reduce imbalance penalties and recover revenue lost to unnecessary spill.
Resilience
More warning, less damage, lower risk
See further ahead so your team can act — not react. Draw down reservoirs early, trigger emergency plans sooner, and protect downstream communities before conditions escalate.
Operations
Replace guesswork with precision
Plan seasonal drawdown, maintenance windows, and water allocation across competing demands — generation, environmental flows, and municipal use — with forecasts that hold up when conditions change.
Regulations
Turn compliance into a competitive advantage
Meet regulatory requirements — from FERC relicensing to environmental flow obligations worldwide — with proactive alerts and automated reporting. Extend defensible, data-driven compliance coverage to ungauged tributaries where oversight has historically been limited.
The most accurate streamflow forecast
HydroForecast won a yearlong forecasting competition hosted by the CEATI, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and major North American hydropower utilities — through drought and 1,000-year storms alike. Since then, we've continued to raise the bar.
RESULTS
Outperformed in 23 out of 25 categories
Trusted by leading hydropower producers, utilities, and government agencies
Get ahead of extreme events
When extreme weather hits, HydroForecast keeps water management running smoothly. When Hurricane Helene overwhelmed traditional forecasting systems, HydroForecast delivered:
- 4 days
- earlier warning than traditional systems
- 33%
- more accurate peak flow predictions
- 24/7
- uninterrupted operations
