Tailored to your needs, our Weather Sensitivity Analysis and Weekly Demand Forecast services enable you to identify a precise correlation between weather and water demand data, and to manage distribution systems proactively. Using the Met Office's comprehensive rainfall prediction tools, we can help water companies and other abstractors to optimise the use of their existing abstraction licences by making predictions of when low flow periods are likely to occur. More about MIST Winter storage reservoirs To maximise water resources, arable farmers can use winter storage reservoirs, collecting rainfall during the wettest periods of the year. This requires knowledge of annual rainfall, long-term variability and irrigation demand. Incoming contamination can pose a serious risk to reservoirs and water courses, whether originating within the UK or from overseas.
Emergency planning is vital.
We can design models that cover almost every eventuality, as well as providing vital weather data on a national and global basis. Historical data sets We have access to one of the world's longest records of historical rainfall data, from rain gauges, radar and climatic data. This archive is vital for planning water resources and drainage design, as it provides input to a wide range of water resources, hydrology and hydraulic models, and for post-event analysis, environmental impact and climate change studies. We run training courses and workshops tailored meet the needs of operations staff, water resource managers, hydrologists and others involved in the water industry.
