A turnkey solution, unique in the French market, serving local governments and industrial clients
Today, the market remains highly fragmented, with players specializing in either groundwater or surface water, and solutions that are rarely integrated from start to finish.
By combining hydrological modeling and operational monitoring, ImaGeau and BRLIngénierie offer a turnkey solution that enables local governments, industrial companies, and water resource managers to:
- Gain a comprehensive view (surface water and groundwater);
- Access forecasting and decision-support capabilities powered by AI (floods, low water levels);
- Simplify usage through a unified and interoperable SaaS solution2 backed by directly applicable domain expertise, without having to manage the complexity of integrating multiple service providers.
This partnership, which is unique in France, is still in its early stages. Currently focused on the quantitative aspects of the resource, it is intended to gradually expand to include qualitative considerations and to enhance the interoperability of the EMI and WIMES platforms. Ultimately, ImaGeau and BRLIngénierie aim to expand their services internationally, leveraging the respective locations of the two groups, to build a comprehensive water resource assessment offering designed to foster more resilient regions.
Choosing Nîmes as the venue for the signing ceremony holds symbolic significance. Located in the heart of a region regularly faced with droughts, as well as Mediterranean rains that can cause flash floods, the Gard department exemplifies the growing challenges associated with water resource management. Against the backdrop of climate change, where hydrological phenomena are becoming more variable and intense, local governments need tools that enable them to better understand, anticipate, and manage water resources. This is precisely the goal of the partnership between ImaGeau and BRLIngénierie.
