Hydrology

The water itself — where it falls, flows, collects and floods — and who is exposed when it does.

Effective flood hazard from the FEMA NFHL beside the community's own drainage network and complaint history, gauge and time-series records in OGC WaterML 2.0, and survey and bathymetry to IHO S-44 order. It supports floodplain administration, CRS credit and planning — it is not a hydraulic or hydrologic model.

Flood risk, water resource, and the survey underneath both

Effective flood hazard and floodplain administration, drainage and stormwater, gauge and water-balance records, and the survey and bathymetry the rest is measured on. Live ones open what runs today; the rest are marked Soon.

The problem

Flood and water data exists — just not where the decision is made

Flood maps, gauge records and bathymetry are published by different agencies in different formats, so the people planning, permitting and responding rebuild the same picture from scratch every time.

Runs on your stack

On Strata, or on your existing Esri services

Publishing and exposure over other people's model outputs — exactly our read-only sweet spot.

Sovereign by default

Deployed on your own servers, on-prem or in your cloud — with a local model option, so no data or prompt leaves the building.

Honest boundary

Naming what this doesn't do is what makes where it wins believable.

Where it stops

We do not model hydrology or hydraulics. The modeller's outputs are our input.

Two ways to get it

Build it yourself, or have us deliver it

Every solution starts from an open, AI-guided template — build it yourself for free, or have us deliver and support the finished result.

DIY — the free open template

Clone the open (MIT) repo, follow the AI-guided setup, and run it on Strata Free — on your own data, on your own servers. Yours to customize, no license.

Delivered + supported

We stand it up, customize it with AI on your data and jurisdiction, load your first layers, and support it — delivery, license and annual support on Strata Team or Unlimited.

Complete spatial platform

Serve your data. Then talk to it.

Strata serves your spatial data over the ArcGIS REST protocol, then lets anyone explore it in plain language — on-prem and sovereign, at a fraction of Enterprise cost. Keep your Esri licenses.
