Accurate, but quickly actionable information on reservoir and river environments – this is what hydropower business needs. So far, stakeholders have had to rely on limited information from small, selected sources when designing dams or deciding on flushing or dredging operations.
Satellite technology can boost hydropower management and help you advance sediment management. – Join us for events and free webinars on HYPOS, the new toolbox for space-based information on reservoirs and river environments. It allows evaluations for current and future hydropower projects – faster, at lower costs and with less risks than before.
Technical Launch at “HYDRO 2022” in Strasbourg (F)
Conference talk in Session 18 and launch event at the booth.
April, 25 – 27
HYPOS’ technical launch took place at the HYDRO ’22, Europe’s large exhibition for the hydropower industry. On 26 April, we contributed to the Conference Session 18 “Innovation in data acquisition”. The next day we welcomed HYDRO delegates to the technical launch at EOMAP’s booth. Both were a pleasure. See below the short video we showed at the booth.

Webinar #2: “HYPOS – Hydropower Management from Space”
Diving Deeper: Validating data and exploring the benefits.
March 31st, 14:00 – 15:00 CET
How accurate are satellite-derived water quality data? And how do they benefit hydropower managers and dam designers aiming for smart monitoring and sediment release? Following a first preview in December 2021, we dive deeper into validation and benefits.
Your key take-aways:
- See how hydrological models and water quality products were validated in use cases at European reservoirs.
- Learn from data scientists, how hydrological models (flow, sedimentation, snow, evaporation) have been validated in reservoirs in Switzerland, Georgia and Albania.
- Find out, how uncertainties were dealt with when estimating sediment fluxes on Arve River and Verbois.
- Let environmental experts show you, how robust Earth Observation (EO) data (e.g. on water reflectance and total suspended matter) proved to be in fieldwork campaigns at Gebidem dam, Banja dam and Verbois-Chancy-Pougny barrages.
- Dam engineering experts will showcase the opportunities HYPOS offers for both the development and operation phases. It will fill data gaps, optimize sediment release operations or visualize baselines and seasonal trends.
- Get in touch with the project team within the Q & A session and tell us about your specific requirements. – We appreciate your input until the launch of the portal at HYDRO ’22.

Webinar #1: “HYPOS – Hydropower Management from Space”
Introduction to Decision Support – powered by Satellite technology
December 15th, 14:00 – 15:00 CET
The first free webinar on the new HYdroPOwer Suite (HYPOS) was held on 15th December, 2021 | 14:00 (CET)
142 people from 37 countries joined us. – Here are more details to it. Just get in touch with us if you wish to receive the recordings.
Your key take-aways:
- See “live” how to access satellite, modelling and in situ data within a few mouse clicks. – HYPOS can empower you to a quick, but comprehensive view on your reservoir or river catchment.
- Learn from data scientists how to easily combine key hydrological parameters to innovative assessment tools. – A strong decision support tool for hydropower managers and planners.
- Dam engineering experts will show you how the portal performed in reservoirs in Europe. It has been tested on hydropower sites in Switzerland, Albania and Georgia.
- Get in touch with the project team within the Q & A session and tell us about your specific requirements. – We appreciate your input until the launch of the portal at HYDRO ’22.
