Water Utilities
Weather Data helps water utlity providers in making informed decisions, ensuring safety and having smooth operations.
Water utility companies can ensure the best service with the right weather information. Weather data can allow quicker interventions on weather disturbances that may affect the delivery of water service in the community.
MetraWeather provides weather services enabling water utility companies to make informed decisions about water supply management, reservoir operations, flood control, water demand forecasting, irrigation planning, and water quality monitoring. By leveraging weather information, they can enhance operational efficiency, and improve climate data analysis, resource allocation, and customer service.
Short-term and long-term forecasts
Monitoring of watersheds are best done with the best rainfall, wind and temperature forecasts. This helps the team in decision making and operations.
Re-Analysis Data
Re-Analysis Data is used as an alternative for historical data. This helps water utility companies create models to help them provide a climate outlook that will help the water provider to craft immediate, short-term, and long-term initiatives to address changing water demands.
Weather Stations
Automated Weather Stations are installed in the watersheds for constant calibration and validation of weather models to improve accuracy of weather forecasts.
"Since 2020, MetraWeather reliably provided to us high frequency rainfall and wind forecast and long-term climate outlook and helped us established automated weather stations at our managed watersheds and treatment plants. These products, in conjunction with our in-house models, helped us in anticipating quantity and quality issues coming from our water sources a week and even months in advance, an example of which is the forecasting of turbidity levels in our lake water source using wind speed forecast.
MetraWeather has also been very quick and accommodating in addressing our concerns, continually coordinating with us and their partners to ensure that our weather data and analysis needs are promptly met, such as weather forecast accuracy assessment and monthly total rainfall amount estimates for long-term climate outlook.”
