WeGaw

WeGaw is a data company that turns satellite imagery, weather forecasts and ground measurements into daily environmental estimates. Its early product, DeFROST, monitored terrain conditions for outdoor tourism, and its focus today is water intelligence for hydropower.

What WeGaw offers

• Snow water equivalent — daily estimates of how much water is stored in snow across a catchment.
• Streamflow forecasts — predictions from one hour to over twelve months ahead for generation and trading.
• Snow height data — high-resolution maps, including work aimed at solar power.
• DeFROST — terrain condition monitoring covering snow cover, depth and avalanche risk, with a feasibility index per trail and activity.

Who it works with

Hydropower operators and energy traders, plus outdoor tourism operators and regions managing trails.
