Core offering

Hydrosolutions provides consulting, capacity building, and bespoke modeling tools for integrated water resources management in arid and semi-arid regions. The firm combines field hydrology, climate impact assessment, and planetary-scale remote sensing with proprietary software such as TaqSim, TOPWATCH, and SnowMapper CA to support governments, hydrometeorological services, and international development clients. Deliverables include flood modeling, water allocation studies, reservoir and crop monitoring, and operational web applications.

Product overview

Hydrosolutions is a Swiss consulting company offering an integrated suite of water resources management solutions, combining web-based applications, hydrological models, and remote sensing services. Their portfolio centers on several key products: TaqSim (Python-based water allocation model using genetic programming optimization), TOPWATCH (physics-based hydrological model rebuilt in Rust), Deep Learning Discharge Forecasting systems using neural networks (TFT, TSMixer, TiDE), and SnowMapper CA (snow cover analysis tool). These are complemented by domain-specific web applications including Sahel-Water (monitoring 300+ water bodies), ee-India-Reservoirs (reservoir monitoring in India), and CropMapper-Ukraine (irrigation analysis). Their services span integrated water resources management, planetary-scale remote sensing, hydrological modeling, climate change impact assessment, and flood hazard mapping, all targeting global drylands and water-stressed regions. The company operates at the intersection of data science and hydrology, deploying solutions from local catchment scales to transboundary river basin levels.

Direct peers

• DHI Group: Denmark-based water modeling software and consulting firm offering MIKE suite hydrological/hydrodynamic tools plus advisory services to governments and multilaterals. Directly comparable in offering proprietary models (MIKE HYDRO, MIKE SHE) alongside consulting for water-stressed regions, with a much larger scale.
• eLEAF: Netherlands-based satellite-based water management and irrigation performance company serving agricultural water users, governments, and development banks. Highly comparable in combining remote-sensing-only water productivity analytics with consulting for irrigation/water-stressed regions.
• Witteveen+Bos: Dutch engineering and consulting firm with deep water, delta, and hydraulic infrastructure practice. Comparable on integrated water resources management, flood modeling, and consulting for international development clients across multiple continents.
• KWR Water Research Institute: Dutch water research and consulting organization applying scientific methods to drinking water, wastewater, and water resources challenges. Comparable in blending peer-reviewed research, proprietary tools, and consulting engagements with water utilities and governments.
• HR Wallingford: UK-based water engineering research and consultancy specializing in hydrology, flood risk, and coastal/water resources for governments and development institutions. Directly comparable as a science-led water consulting firm serving international clients.
• ICEM: Australia-headquartered environmental and water resources consulting firm working across Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Africa. Comparable in delivering hydrological, IWRM, and climate adaptation consulting to governments and multilateral development banks in water-stressed regions.
• BRL Ingénierie: French water and environmental engineering consultancy with hydrology, hydrogeology, and coastal/water resources practices serving public and development-sector clients. Comparable in combining hydrological modeling, groundwater expertise, and project-based consulting for water management.

Broad incumbents

• Royal HaskoningDHV: Large Dutch engineering consultancy with a substantial global water and delta adaptation practice. Overlaps with hydrosolutions on water resources, flood modeling, and international development consulting but at vastly larger scale and broader scope.
• Arcadis: Global design and consultancy firm with a sizable water and climate adaptation practice serving multilateral clients. Competes for similar World Bank and donor-funded water management mandates but offers a far broader portfolio beyond hydrology.

Emerging players

• Satelligence: Netherlands-based satellite monitoring company focused on deforestation, land use, and commodity supply chain risk. Partially comparable in applying planetary-scale remote sensing for environmental outcomes, though its primary focus is forestry rather than hydrology.
