Planet near-daily data helps governments manage water resources by enhancing public satellite data and in situ monitoring.

Rapid Response

Identify the location and extent of rapid changes to water quality and availability with near-daily 3.7 m resolution satellite data. Use frequent data to locate and manage dynamic events like algal blooms, oil spills, flash droughts, coastal erosion, flooding, and landslides.

Precision Insights

Get detailed insights with 8 spectral bands. Planet 8-band, medium-resolution data unlocks new opportunities for water quality monitoring. Combine bands to measure quality indicators, highlight spectral signatures, and analyze specific characteristics of bodies of water.

Historical Depth

Fill data gaps using our archive of near-daily imagery dating back to 2017. Leverage the vast Planet Archive to understand long-term trends and advance scientific research, while also monitoring the impact of water use policies and infrastructure investments.

Scalable Access

Expand user access to satellite-derived water resource data with our flexible, cloud-based platform. Save time and money by simplifying data processing and distribution.

Hear from the CEO of EOMAP
Planet satellite data gave us the best temporal and spatial resolution that we need in order to really measure on all scales — large as well as small waters — what is changing and what is happening.

Because Planet is high resolution and has daily images, we can detect minor differences in the water surface area. We’re integrating Planet with LiDAR to combine surface area and storage capacity, which tells us about the changes in the volume of the water in  storage.

PARTNER

Planet data allowed us to get to a higher level of detail than public data sets, so we could examine smaller water bodies. The granular data from Planet was far superior to what we were previously using. It filled in the blanks and gave us a richer dataset to look at chlorophyll and measure algae  growth.
