Help Earth manage its most precious resource: Water
Hydrosat leverages the unique capabilities of thermal imagery from space to measure water stress in agriculture and enhance food security, public safety and the environment.
Water Scarcity
The major threat to Food Security
According to the United Nations, feeding 10 billion people sustainably by 2050 will require an increase in food production by more than 50%. However, climate change, extreme weather events, and growing competition for water resources all threaten our global food supply.

water stress annually by 2050.

Water scarcity in numbers
Water seems abundant on planet Earth, but increasing population, extensive agriculture, and climate change are causing severe regional water scarcity, threatening food security for billions of people.
