Snow is already falling for some of our most vertical customers (looking at you, Colorado and Switzerland), and hurricane season is in full swing across much of the Western Hemisphere. September was an exciting month with new partnerships, performance deep dives, and a busy conference schedule. We look forward to continuing the momentum into the new water year.

We recently observed the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Helene's impact throughout the Southeast. Reflecting on this event, Helene exposes the fragility of current monitoring systems and how traditional tools are being outpaced by the new reality of climate-driven extremes. We analyzed what this means in practice, looking forward to how forecast monitoring systems can change.
Dangers from hurricanes are usually thought of as a coastal-only phenomenon. But large portions of damage and fatalities from hurricanes occur inland. In a recent blog post, Hunter Johnson discusses why hurricanes pose serious inland risk and how tools such as HydroForecast can increase preparedness for inland communities.

Join our team for an in-depth exploration of hydrologic forecast evaluations and practical insights learned in 2025. We'll dive into case studies and methods used to assess model impacts, contextualize findings within broader weather trends, and discuss common issues and solutions that arise when conducting hydrology evaluations. Sign up today!
We partnered with KISTERS to discuss how European water managers are embracing digital transformation to navigate growing climate risks, evolving policies, and operational complexity. Missed it? Access the recording to learn how organizations across Europe are using AI-powered forecasting and integrated data platforms to improve operations.

The team is going to be attending Clean Currents on October 14-17 in Pittsburgh, PA. We’ll have a booth (#1532) and a poster presentation from Laura Read on Thursday the 16th, called ‘Proven use cases for optimizing hydropower operations with AI streamflow forecasting’ in the Waterpower Learning Center. Please reach out, stop by the booth, or come see the poster presentation if you’re going to be at Clean Currents!
We’re excited to be working with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation)–the largest wholesaler of water and second-largest hydropower producer in the U.S. The first round of Short-term HydroForecast models is now live across three Reclamation regions, providing 10-day streamflow forecasts to support operations at reservoirs and dams throughout the West.
“The better knowledge we have of what’s yet to come, the better decisions we can make to allocate water,” said Chris Frans, the water availability research coordinator in Reclamation’s Research and Development Office in a E&E Politico article about the new partnership.
Laura Read also chatted with Stormwater Solutions about working with Reclamation, the history of this partnership, and why technologies like HydroForecast are critical for the water industry.
Several HydroForecast team members traveled to Ontario, Canada to visit the Ontario Power Generation (OPG) team and kick off our new contract. We had very productive meetings, spanning technical deep dives into HydroForecast’s machine learning structure to learning about OPG’s vast hydropower assets (OPG’s hydropower fleet leads the production of renewable energy in Ontario). We also saved some time for fun–hiking near the shores of Niagara Falls and touring some of OPG’s local facilities.
