Integrated Hydrologic Simulations for Insurance Agencies
From large-scale hydrologic analyses in support of national/provincial/watershed level flood and drought risk analysis, to localized real-time hydrologic forecasts to bolster flood warning capacity, Aquanty’s HydroGeoSphere (HGS) simulation technology represents a valuable tool for the insurance/reinsurance industries to reduce exposure and losses to hydrologic catastrophes. Aquanty can provide valuable insights on sustainable water resources, drought and flood risk, and impacts of climate change to a particular area of interest.
Benefits of Integrated Hydrologic Modelling
Comprehensive Risk Assessment
Accurate predictions of water-related risks
Develop adaptation and resilience strategies
Achieve Regulatory Compliance
Reduce Uncertainty
Educate clients about potential risks
Gain insights into long-term trends and potential changes in hydrological patterns due to factors such as climate change for improved decision-making. Make informed decisions regarding policy, coverage limits, and premium adjustments to adapt to evolving risks.
Achieve regulatory compliance. In some regions, regulators may require insurers to consider comprehensive risk assessment methodologies. Comply with these regulations by demonstrating a thorough analysis of potential water-related risks.
Educate clients about potential risks using data-driven insights from HGS generated models and forecast predictions. This engagement not only helps customers understand their risks better but also encourages them to take proactive measures to mitigate these risks, reducing the likelihood and magnitude of claims.
Offer more accurate predictions of water related risks, by integrating hydrologic simulations with real-time weather forecasts. This information can be used to evaluate the likelihood and severity of potential losses, enabling better risk management and pricing of insurance policies.
Through state-of-the-art models, identify vulnerable areas and develop adaptation and resilience strategies. This might include encouraging policyholders to adopt specific mitigation measures or investing in infrastructure improvements to minimize risks and potential losses.
By incorporating a wide range of data into a variety of modelling technologies and utilizing forecasting capabilities, you can reduce uncertainty related to flood and drought risks. Provide more reliable risk assessments and enhance the ability to manage financial exposure.
Special Projects
Aquanty operates simulation technology and real-time and on-demand hydrologic forecasting platforms to equip insurance agencies with a more robust understanding of water-related risks enabling them to make better-informed decisions, manage risks effectively and offer more tailored insurance products to customers. Gain insights on sustainable water resources, drought and flood risk, and impacts of climate change on a particular area of interest.
Real-time flood and drought forecasting with digital watershed twins:
Developed model-based flood and drought risk index and real-time hydrologic forecasting portal throughout South Saskatchewan River Basin on behalf of the Government of Alberta; providing 7- and 32-day forecast and automatic alerts based on response of digital watershed twin to daily weather forecasts.

Simulating flood risk with high-resolution hydrologic models:
Recreation of 2013 Southern Alberta flooding. Simulation results depict a flood pulse derived from basin scale hydrologic simulations being routed across a local scale model of the City of Medicine Hat. LiDAR topography was used for the Medicine Hat model, and results show excellent agreement between simulated and observed high water marks.
The science of seeing into the future: Canada’s groundwater, in Simply Science by Natural Resources Canada:
With scientists predicting major water shortages in less than 10 years, we need to make smart choices today about how to use and protect our water resources. The Canada1Water project aims to help. Co-led by Natural Resources Canada’s Groundwater Geoscience Program and Aquanty Inc., it will give Canadians powerful new tools to understand the country’s water future.
How a High-Tech Water Model is Future-Proofing Manitoba’s Farms, Soils and Grasslands.
Aquanty’s real-time hydrologic forecasting platform, developed with the Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association, supports farmers across the Assiniboine River Basin with timely water management insights. By improving planning around drought and moisture conditions, the system strengthens agricultural resilience. For the crop reinsurance industry, it offers valuable data to enhance risk assessment and support more accurate, proactive decision-making.
