WAI turns in-situ nutrient measurements into long-term water intelligence.
By measuring nutrients directly in the field and uploading them instantly, we can predict change and protect what matters before it’s too late.
Every drop of data counts – from source to sea.
POTENTIAL AND IMPORTANCE OF WATER DATA
Big in-situ data changes everything.
Understanding nutrients in real time reveals cause and effect from rainfall to runoff, from soil to sea.
Dense, model-ready nutrient data lets us predict eutrophication, measure impact, and act faster.
WE CAN’T PROTECT WHAT WE CAN’T SEE.
Nutrient flows in freshwater are still a blind spot.
Only 1% of source-to-sea waters are measured today – not because we don’t care, but because nutrient measurement doesn’t scale.
Lab tests are costly and slow; low-cost kits lack accuracy.
The result is too little data, too late.
FROM PROBLEM TO BREAKTHROUGH
WAI turns invisible nutrient flows into a grid of data.
Each field scan becomes a precise datapoint with time, location, and conditions.
Together, they form a living grid of nutrient intelligence – a layer of insight that grows with every measurement.
WATER DATA EVOLVES INTO INTELLIGENCE
From in-situ nutrient data to living water models.
As measurements connect over time, they form dynamic models that show where leaks happen and what their impact is on the system.
These living models evolve with new data and guide smarter, site-specific water and soil management.

WAI-APP
Insights from field to cloud
Every in-situ measurement is automatically uploaded to the cloud for long-term analysis and sharing.
- Connects directly to the WAI device to log, analyze, and visualize results in real time
- Easy-to-use interface with quick-response visualizations
- Integrates 3rd-party data (e.g. GPS, weather, photos) for context-rich insights
- Offers engaging user experience and elements of gamification to encourage participation
- Every measurement is automatically uploaded to the cloud for secure storage and sharing
WAI-ECO
Intelligence built with mass data
Builds predictive digital twins of watersheds using long-term nutrient data.
- Unified platform for storing and analyzing all environmental data
- Enables mass water data collection and visualization for transparency and collaboration
- Builds predictive digital twins of watersheds to model nutrient flows and forecast eutrophication
- Empowers stakeholders with real-time, site-specific insights
- Data can be shared or integrated with third-party systems
DEMOCRATIZING WATER INTELLIGENCE
Every nutrient measurement counts.
By multiplying local in-situ measurements, we create a living map of nutrient dynamics – continuously updated as conditions change.
WAI’S INTELLIGENCE
Scalable by Software
“Waiing” is a breakthrough concept for large-scale, high-quality in-situ nutrient data collection, built as a continuously evolving digital system where calibration, analysis methods, and data processing are all defined in code.
We start by measuring phosphate and nitrate – the key nutrients driving eutrophication – directly in the field, where runoff occurs.
PILOTS
We are looking for pilot projects across Europe.
We focus on agriculture, forestry, and urban runoff areas, including both existing monitoring sites and data-scarce regions.
We collaborate closely with farmers, environmental agencies, universities/researchers and NGOs to build long-term nutrient intelligence.
