Predicting scarcity, optimizing infrastructure, and securing water resilience for millions in Senegal and Mali. Where satellite data meets local expertise.
Supported by the Governments of Senegal & Mali, in partnership with local NGOs.
Climate change and rapid growth are outpacing traditional water management. We need smarter systems.
Increasing climate variability and extreme drought risk threaten agricultural livelihoods and critical river flows across the region.
Rapid urban growth in hubs like Dakar strains aging distribution networks, leading to systemic leaks, water loss, and unsustainable energy costs.
Thousands of rural boreholes lack predictive maintenance, leaving remote villages at sudden, unpredictable risk of water failure.
We are building a localized AI platform that ingests satellite imagery (Copernicus, NASA), IoT sensor data, and historical hydrological records. We transform raw, fragmented data into actionable, life-saving insights.
AI Assistant Query:
"Which villages in the Mopti region have the highest probability of water shortage in the next 12 months?"
Leveraging mature digital infrastructure to optimize Dakar's water distribution networks, predict rural borehole failures before they happen, and guide satellite-informed agricultural irrigation for smallholder farmers.
Mapping the unmapped. Providing AI-driven Niger River flow intelligence, dam level forecasting, and ranking the best groundwater drilling locations based on geology, rainfall, and historical success data.
Satellite imagery, weather stations, river sensors, and national borehole databases.
Geospatial computer vision, time-series forecasting, and localized Large Language Models (LLMs).
Ministry dashboards, SMS alerts for farmers, and optimized maintenance routing for field teams.
The Sahel Water AI Platform is now live and actively driving impact. We are proudly supported by the Governments of Senegal and Mali, in partnership with local NGOs, to scale this public good.
