Solutions / Water resources & lake monitoring
Combine Earth observations, gauges and sampling records. Order suitable water data, investigate extent or surface patterns, or create a monitoring app without coding.
Explore a workflow for this industry. The app preview uses illustrative data; contact us to discuss your own sites, requirements and access.
The work you need to do
Specify the lakes, reservoir margins or catchments and the dates you need. Compare available sources against water-body size and the measurements required.
A water-data request with product and delivery requirements
Review mapped water boundaries across suitable observations. Connect differences to gauges, operations records and acquisition conditions before using them in a site review.
Extent comparisons and a dated water-body history
Explore suitable surface-condition products beside laboratory and field records. Identify unusual patterns and gaps that help the team plan where to collect measurements.
A sampling shortlist with observation context
01 / Acquire the data
Request data for a water body anywhere on Earth. Source selection depends on its dimensions, the dates required and the particular water measurement you need.
Just need the data? Acquiring it is a complete outcome. Use delivered files in your own tools where the license permits, or continue with analysis and apps in Milkypad.
02 / Run your own analysis
Connect observations to your existing measurements, then decide where additional sampling would help.
Add water bodies and sampling stations. Choose whether you need an extent comparison, a surface-pattern investigation or context for a monitoring report.
Review available observations, capture times and water-specific quality information. Choose suitable products and keep excluded or unresolved areas visible.
Inspect maps beside gauges, sampling results and operational records. Separate a satellite-derived indicator from the measurements collected at a station.
Create a sampling list or report with dates and reasons. Save a custom app when the team needs to repeat the same review.
03 / Build and customize your app
A proposed app for reviewing water-body history and coordinating follow-up measurements across a monitoring program.
Explore a prepared example
01 / Data inputs
Define the lake or reservoir, observation periods and measurements you need. Keep gauge locations and sampling records linked to the request.
02 / Review a layer
The overlay illustrates a water-extent comparison. Surface observations need suitable quality checks and local measurements before interpretation.
03 / Use an app
An app can bring the water-body history and station records into a single review. Choose the locations that need another measurement.
Prepared scenes and records show how a workflow could look. These are illustrative locations and layers, with no live data or analysis.
Build a lake review app linking observation maps, gauge history and sampling records. Let us compare dates, flag areas for sampling and export a visit plan.
Describe the tool and the changes you need in ordinary language. The AI assistant helps build it; colleagues use the resulting maps, tables, and controls without writing code.

Use the result with context
Mapped extent alone does not establish depth or volume. Optical indicators of turbidity or algae depend on suitable processing and local validation; they do not measure every contaminant or establish drinking-water safety. Match interpretations to laboratory and field evidence.
Questions for your workflow
Yes. Specify the water bodies, observation window, required product and file format. Acquire eligible data for your existing monitoring or analytical tools.
Finer detail can help separate water from shore, but measurement quality also depends on suitable bands, atmospheric correction, local conditions and method validation.
Include station locations, timestamps and the records you use in the app brief. Ask for linked charts and sampling views your team can operate directly.
