A satellite AI platform for early algal bloom response.
From water surface watch to bloom concentration, the five drivers, early warning, AI forecasts and automatic validation: the whole bloom response on one screen.
Features
Six features, one flow.
See wide areas first from space, calculate the causes, forecast days ahead and check yourself against field measurements.
Water surface & flood watch
Radar sees water through cloud and at night, flagging new and shrinking water.
Algal bloom map
Chlorophyll-a estimated for every 10 m cell, in four levels from clear to bloom.
Five bloom drivers
Temperature, N, P, sunlight and residence time, calculated every day.
Early warning & spread
Alert levels 3–7 days ahead, D+1 to D+7 spread paths and intake arrival dates.
AI time-series forecast
Concentration ranges and bloom probability 7, 14 and 30 days ahead, cell by cell.
Automatic validation
Error, recall and F1 against public monitoring data, per water body.
Specification
Data, method, revisit and output
BASIN uses free public satellites and public monitoring data, so costs hardly grow as you add water bodies.
| Feature | Data & method | Resolution & update | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water surface & flood watch | Sentinel-1 GRD (VV), Lee filter + threshold, vs. historical median | 10 m, 6–12 days (any weather, day or night) | Permanent water, new water (possible flooding), dry cells |
| Algal bloom map | Sentinel-2 L2A red-edge (NDCI) chlorophyll-a estimate | 10 m, about 5 days | Four-level map (clear, watch, alert, bloom), scene trend |
| Five bloom drivers | Temperature (Landsat), N and P (measured first, else satellite proxy), sunlight and weather, residence time from flow | 30 m, daily | Status table per water body |
| Early warning | Five-driver growth-rate model + weather forecast | Daily, 3–7 days ahead | Alert level by date, recommended actions |
| Spread path | Wind drift + river flow inside the water mask | D+1 to D+7 | Spread map, main direction, intake arrival date |
| AI time-series forecast | Google TimesFM + two-year satellite series and five drivers | 7/14/30 days, 100–500 m grid | Range (p10–p90), bloom probability, first “watch” date |
| Automatic validation | Against monitoring data (chlorophyll, TN, TP, temperature) | Whenever new data arrive | Error, correlation, recall, F1 table (CSV) |

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does the BASIN platform include?
Six features: water surface and flood watch, algal bloom map, five bloom drivers, early warning and spread paths, AI time-series forecasts and automatic validation, all connected on one screen.
Do I need to install anything?
No. BASIN runs in a web browser and needs no equipment on site.
Which satellites does it use?
Free public satellites such as Sentinel-1 (radar), Sentinel-2 (optical) and Landsat (surface temperature), combined with public water quality, weather and flow data.
Work with us
Start with a satellite screening of your water.
We screen your reservoirs and intakes from public satellite data first, then compare the results with your own field measurements. No equipment needs to be installed.
