Quantify and certify reservoir emissions. Monitor water quality, coastal health, and environmental performance. One platform delivering the intelligence your operations need to measure, manage, and report with confidence.
Comprehensive environmental intelligence for every water challenge, from certification and compliance to habitat mapping, water quality and coastal resilience.
The independent certification for low-carbon hydropower operations. Accurately track and report GHG emissions from your water assets, supporting carbon neutrality commitments, investor ESG requirements, and regulatory compliance across Scopes 1, 2, and 3. Recognised, credible, and built for the hydropower sector.
Comprehensive monitoring of key water quality parameters across inland and coastal waters, with decades of historical data for trend analysis, compliance reporting, and early warning.
Detect and track harmful algal blooms and cyanobacteria in near-real time, with automated alerts that notify you before public health events or operational disruptions occur.
Map water depth and seafloor morphology rapidly and remotely, at a fraction of the cost and time of traditional vessel surveys. No boats. No dive teams. No delay.
Track shoreline change, coastal erosion, and water body extent at any scale, from a single beach to an entire coastline. Monitor resilience continuously, not just when surveys happen.
Classify seafloor habitats, including seagrass, coral, sand, and sediment, efficiently and at scale. Build baselines, detect change, and support biodiversity and carbon programmes.
Understand the water quality conditions at your farm site before they become a problem. Continuous environmental intelligence for seaweed, shellfish, and finfish operations.
Monitor the full lifecycle of water through your catchment, from mountain snowpack to river mouth. Track sediment, turbidity, drought, and flood indicators without leaving your desk.
Map and quantify the carbon stored in mangroves, seagrass, and saltmarshes across your entire project area. Verified, repeatable, and audit-ready for carbon markets and compliance.
Map the extent, condition, and carbon dynamics of inland wetlands and peatlands. Track drainage, degradation, and restoration progress, with direct input to your GHG inventory and emissions reporting.
Keep your reservoir and hydropower operations running at peak performance with continuous monitoring of water levels, storage volume, sediment dynamics, and water quality.
Classify and track land use change at any scale, covering wetlands, forests, agriculture, and urban growth. Build the baseline your environmental monitoring and compliance programmes need.
Generate accurate terrain models of coastal and inland areas for flood risk assessment, infrastructure planning, and 3D digital twins, without extensive fieldwork campaigns.
Automatically generate the reports your regulators, investors, and stakeholders need, from emissions disclosures to water quality compliance summaries. Consistent, defensible, on time.
We observe, model, and interpret environmental conditions at the scales and frequencies that traditional monitoring simply cannot match.
Complete coverage of any water body, coastline, or catchment, without vessel surveys, dive operations, or ground teams. We observe from above, at any scale.
Access environmental data going back 40+ years for your exact location. Understand baselines, long-term trends, and anomalies from the very first day of a project.
From a single reservoir to an entire national coastline, analysis delivered in hours, not weeks. Scale from one site to a full portfolio without additional field resources.
Monitor conditions continuously throughout the year. Catch algal blooms, sediment events, and coastal change as they happen, not after the fact.
Open HighDrone gives any organisation managing water resources a single platform to monitor water quality, quantify emissions, and generate actionable intelligence, from hydropower reservoirs to coastlines, wetlands, and beyond.
Upload all your required assets easily in one click.
Advanced remote sensing and environmental modelling calculate your full emissions and water intelligence across your portfolio.
Get insights in real time across all your chosen assets.
Report your progress towards net zero to comply with regulations and stakeholders — or apply your intelligence directly to your own operations and decision-making.
Explore how organisations use Open HighDrone to monitor, protect, and certify their water environments.
Electric utilities and hydropower operators certify their reservoir GHG emissions intensity, strengthen I-REC credentials, and satisfy growing investor and regulatory ESG requirements.
Water authorities continuously monitor reservoirs, lakes, and bathing sites for harmful algal blooms, turbidity spikes, and faecal contamination indicators — triggering early warnings before public health events occur.
Environmental agencies and carbon project developers map coastal and estuarine habitats at country scale to quantify blue carbon stocks, detect degradation, and generate verifiable nature-based carbon credits.
Offshore and inland fish farms receive continuous alerts on water temperature stratification, harmful algal bloom approach, turbidity and dissolved oxygen proxies — reducing stock mortality and optimising feed scheduling.
Port authorities, coastal planners, and conservation agencies track shoreline change, sediment plume dynamics, seagrass and coral extent, and sea-level driven inundation risk using multispectral and SAR time-series.
Agricultural water managers and irrigation districts monitor reservoir storage, surface water availability, soil moisture, and drought stress index across entire catchments — optimising allocation and cutting wastage.
Emergency managers, insurers, and infrastructure operators receive cloud-penetrating Sentinel-1 SAR flood extent maps within hours of an event, combined with ERA5 climatology for seasonal drought risk forecasting.
Carbon project developers and environmental agencies use TROPOMI-derived methane flux, wetland inundation mapping, and hydrological modelling to baseline and annually verify freshwater carbon credits and nature-based solution projects.
Mining operators and environmental regulators monitor tailings storage facilities for surface deformation and leakage, detect acid mine drainage and effluent plumes in downstream watercourses, and track rehabilitation progress.
Comprehensive monitoring of water quality, depth, habitat, and carbon across entire catchments, at the scale and frequency your operations demand.
Track environmental performance over time, benchmark against industry standards, and generate compliant regulatory reports, automatically and consistently.
Obtain independent certification for low-carbon operations and take data-driven action to reduce emissions, restore ecosystems, and meet climate commitments.
