The Intelligence Layer for Water Assets
Hi3 Water is a data-driven Water Asset Intelligence Platform that discovers, analyzes, and tracks water assets across North America.
We Built What Didn't Exist
Water is Earth's most critical resource, yet data about water assets is fragmented across hundreds of federal, state, and local agencies. Finding, comparing, and analyzing springs, aquifers, wells, and water rights requires navigating incompatible databases with no unified intelligence layer.
Hi3 Water is a single platform that aggregates fragmented water data from dozens of federal, state, and community sources into one searchable, scored, and mapped intelligence layer.
By the Numbers
Our Mission
Hi3 Water aggregates data from USGS, EPA, state water boards, and community directories into a single, scored, and searchable platform. Every asset receives a Water Intelligence Score (WIS) based on flow rate, geological stability, legal accessibility, sustainability, and rarity.
Our goal is to make water asset intelligence as accessible and standardized as real estate data — empowering researchers, conservation organizations, and water professionals with the data they need to make informed decisions.
What We Track
Data Sources
We aggregate from 13+ authoritative sources across federal, state, and community databases.
Springs, wells, and groundwater monitoring sites
Principal aquifer boundaries and geological data
Public water systems and drinking water quality
Historical water quality measurements
90,000+ dams and reservoirs nationwide
OR, CA, CO, NV, MT, ID, AZ water rights databases
MT, OR, CA, ID well completion reports
Community-contributed spring directory
Water Intelligence Score (WIS)
Every asset is scored 0-100 across five dimensions — giving researchers and professionals a standardized way to compare water assets for the first time:
Platform Features
Mapbox-powered map with layer toggles, clustering, and satellite/terrain views
4,600+ aquifer polygons color-coded by rock type
Water asset density heatmap across the US
Find assets within a custom radius of any location
Side-by-side comparison of 2-3 assets with full score breakdown
