Overview

For government agencies that need data on water supply and demand in rivers and aquifers, Foundry Spatial provides a live picture of water supply, ecosystem needs, and human water use across the landscape. Unlike traditional consulting studies that take weeks or months to produce for a single location, Foundry customers can access all the information they need, for any location, at any time.

You’ll learn how to…

• Serve customers who need natural resource data in the regulatory space, for industry and conservation applications
• Use maps to help users to track and explore dynamic, ever-changing watersheds and aquifers
• Combine data from environmental sensors, predictive models, into context-specific reporting
• Serve GeoJSON data via your own APIs and use Mapbox as a rendering engine
• Thin giant data sources, optimizing storage and rendering at different scales
