AI in Water Risk Management

Hey there water enthusiasts,

Happy Monday! This week, we have two webinars lined up to set your water stewardship up for success: join us to learn the fundamentals of managing water risk and how AI can help. Right after, the key to pushing through the pain of water data centralization from diverse sources (sneak peak: it's technology).

Let’s dive deep for water insights! ????♀?

The Fundamentals of Water Risk: Impact, Management & Solutions

Water risk is no longer a distant concern—it’s a pressing challenge that directly impacts business operations, supply chains, and financial stability. Every year, droughts alone cost the EU and UK €9 billion ( EU Science, Research and Innovation ) while poor water management threatens $105 billion in global revenue ( CDP ). Despite these risks, many businesses struggle to translate complex climate and water data into actionable strategies. So, how can companies turn water risk into resilience?

In this webinar, we’ll break down the fundamentals of water risk—what it is, how it affects businesses, and the most effective ways to manage it. We’ll explore real-world examples of risk assessment and mitigation, discuss strategies for integrating water risk into corporate sustainability planning, and highlight how technology can enhance water stewardship.

Join Waterplan 's Chief Sustainability Officer, Nicolas Wertheimer to gain practical insights into assessing, managing, and reducing water risks. Whether you’re looking to improve corporate sustainability or safeguard operations against growing water challenges, this session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to take action.

Bridging the gap in corporate water stewardship: The role of AI

Scientific data is crucial for understanding water-related risks, yet many businesses struggle to turn this information into actionable strategies. AI-powered tools are changing that—offering an unprecedented ability to analyze water data with accuracy rates as high as 95%. But how can companies leverage AI to enhance water stewardship and resilience?

In this webinar, Ben Zaitchik , Professor at John Hopkins University and President-Elect of the American Geophysical Union , will explore how AI can bridge the gap between data and action. Alongside Waterplan’s CEO, José Ignacio G. , and water expert Hemant Servia , he’ll share insights on integrating climate data, water risk assessments, and sustainability targets into corporate water management strategies.

Join us to discover how AI-driven solutions can simplify water data collection, improve risk prediction, and support resilience planning. If you’re looking to elevate your company’s water stewardship efforts, this session will provide the tools and knowledge to make a real impact.

Expert Insight - Water Data Centralization for Sustainable Planning

Drowning in water data? You're not alone! During last week’s webinar on strategies to measure and achieve water efficiency targets, we dove into the challenges of water management. The biggest hurdle our partners and webinar attendees listed is centralizing data from diverse sources - from basic water accounting to complex watershed risks.

Here's the silver lining: today, technology is our lifeline. By leveraging AI and big data, we can streamline this process, making sense of thousands of datasets and helping set contextual, bottom-up targets.

Arctic Cyclones Linked to Sea Ice Depletion

A recent study sheds light on the significant role Arctic cyclones play in accelerating sea ice depletion. Researchers suggest that these intense storm systems may be a critical, previously overlooked factor in existing climate models, offering fresh insights into the rapid decline of Arctic ice. The findings indicate that the strong winds and ocean turbulence generated by these cyclones contribute to breaking up and thinning the ice, making it more vulnerable to melting.

MIT Researchers Investigate Marine Microbes' Role in Ocean Health

A recent study published by 美国麻省理工学院 (MIT) researchers highlights the crucial role marine microbes play in maintaining ocean health and regulating global climate systems. These microscopic organisms form the foundation of marine food webs and contribute significantly to carbon cycling, influencing how the ocean absorbs and stores carbon dioxide. The study explores how microbial communities respond to environmental changes, such as rising ocean temperatures and acidification, and their potential role in mitigating climate change. By better understanding these interactions, scientists aim to develop more accurate climate models and inform conservation strategies that protect marine biodiversity.

WMO Flood and Drought Management Competition

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has launched the 2025 Global Integrated Flood and Drought Management Competition for Youth-Led Projects. This initiative aims to fund and support innovative solutions developed by young people to enhance resilience against water-related hazards. The competition also contributes to the "Early Warnings for All" initiative, emphasizing the importance of proactive measures in disaster risk reduction. By empowering youth to address challenges posed by floods and droughts, the WMO seeks to foster a new generation of leaders in climate resilience
