This document describes Hydromodel Host, a cloud-based platform for smart water resources management. It provides real-time decision support and integrated tools for groundwater modeling, planning, management, and collaboration. Key features include automated model updating, running "what-if" scenarios, and providing visibility and predictability over groundwater resources. The solution addresses current issues like overexploited aquifers, contamination, and outdated technology. It allows assessing impacts of changes, extractions, recharge, and more through an easy-to-use web interface. Benefits include a single source of truth, cost savings, and keeping models as useful management tools. Use cases from Chile and Israel are highlighted.

2. About us
• More than 60 years of combined experience
in groundwater management
• 100% focused on developing groundwater
management technology
• (R)evolutionizing groundwater resources
planning and management by introducing
new technologies
• Enabling proactive and participatory
groundwater management
PROVIDING GROUNDWATER
VISIBILITY AND PREDICTABILITY

3. Current situation – technology not addressing
Overexploited aquifers - drought
Overexploited aquifers – seawater
intrusion Salinization of irrigated land
Mining activities - contamination
Economic, environmental and political impact

4. Current situation - technology
• Existing technology is not meeting today’s
demanding groundwater resources
planning and management requirements
o Proactive
o Real-time
o Collaborative
• Planning, management and collaboration
tools are not integrated
• Groundwater models are critical but
o Difficult to update – become obsolete
o Too hard to use by non-modelers
• Lacks visibility and predictability
• Direct impact on groundwater resources
sustainability

5. • Data Management
o Real-time data access
o Advanced statistical functionality
o Exporting capabilities
• Aquifer resources management
o Budget management
o 3D views
o Automated model updating
• Sustainability management
o “What-if” scenarios
o Sensitivity analysis
• Transparency / Collaboration
o Harmonized data sources
o Common decision support framework
Hydromodel Host IGWM™ framework
The solution

6. Hydromodel Host – the solution
• Cloud based platform
• Real time decision support system
• Common platform for groundwater
resources
 Planners
 Managers
 Users
• Provides predictability and visibility
over groundwater resources quantity
and quality
• Easy to use web based interface to
run complex “what-if” scenarios

7. Hydromodel Host – unique technology
 Automated groundwater and surface water model updating in the cloud
 Easily run complex “what-if” scenarios and sensitivity analysis in the cloud

8. Hydromodel Host – now it is easy to…
Assess impact of
changing land use
Understand aquifer
response to climate change
Assess the impact of
future demand
scenarios on the aquiferDetect
illegal/unaccounted
for extractions
Understand
impact of artificial
recharge in a
specific point
Calculate extraction effects and
maximum extraction volumes to
ensure sustainability
Assess impact of a
hydraulic barrier
Identify sources of
contamination

9. Hydromodel Host – benefits
• Real time visibility and predictability over
groundwater resources
• Single “source of truth” for groundwater
regulators, planners, managers and users
• Groundwater models
o Are updated automatically real time
o Become management tools
o Obsolete models become an asset again
• Planners, managers and users can easily
assess quantitative and qualitative impact
of decisions – run “what-if” scenarios
• Cost savings – between 5X-10X over
traditional groundwater management
processes
