Basin Futures: a rapid, web-based tool for assessing water resources
Model development scenarios, explore trade-offs and generate reports, all from pre-loaded global data with no setup required.
Basinpedia
Browse river basins anywhere in the world: climate, river flows, storages, land cover, species and water stress indicators. Basinpedia is open to everyone. Open Basinpedia.
Build and compare scenarios
Build a hydrological model of a basin from pre-loaded climate, land cover and hydrology data, then define and compare development scenarios and their effect on river flows, storages and the water balance. Building models needs an account; you can request one from the sign-in page.
