HydroMaster, the cloud service for precipitation information and
warnings goes live
Water under your control
London/UK, Aachen/Germany, February 2017. Extreme
precipitation events are increasing in frequency, with climate
projections indicating that this trend will continue in future. With
HydroMaster, KISTERS and MeteoGroup support customers to limit
the impact of heavy rain events on operations, assets and
infrastructures. The professional cloud service for weather
information and forecasts helps local authorities, cities and
municipalities, infrastructure owners and utility companies to be
better informed and prepared.
HydroMaster offers a live web service for viewing, analysing and
archiving historical, current and upcoming precipitation events.
With its high spatial and temporal resolution and detailed warning
functions, HydroMaster is the perfect tool for effectively managing
precipitation related risks and ensuring preventive actions are taken
to minimise the impact on infrastructure and assets. HydroMaster
integrates observation and forecast data based on calibrated high
resolution rainfall radar, as well as refined deterministic and
probabilistic forecasts, and visualizes information for individual
hotspots, zones of interest and catchments.

Situational awareness
Severe weather events pose a direct threat to life, health,
infrastructure, production and assets. Such threats are becoming
increasingly severe due to increased urbanisation, population growth
and climate change.
Extreme and highly localised weather events are appearing more
frequently, meaning stakeholders in civil protection and the supply
industry require an increased awareness of future precipitation
events in order to adjust their decision-making and actions to deal
with potential impacts of climate change.
“With HydroMaster, stakeholders are always prepared. The web
service not only shows what is coming, but also when it is coming and
the expected impact on operations.” says Donat Rétif, CEO at
MeteoGroup. Klaus Kisters, CEO at KISTERS, adds “HydroMaster gives
us a rich visual forecast and high precision warning system to better
prepare and respond to life-threatening and destructive weather
events.”
