NOAA awards Small Business Innovation Research Program Grant to Hydrosat

Hydrosat, the climate tech company specializing in delivering satellite imagery and data analytics to measure water stress and climate impact, announced that it has been awarded a grant from the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program.

NOAA’s SBIR program funds the development of innovative solutions that demonstrate excellent commercial potential and will enable Hydrosat to explore a range of use cases spanning five focus areas: agriculture, aquaculture, drought, wildfire, and urban heat.

Hydrosat collects, processes, and analyzes thermal infrared satellite images to provide a leading indicator for water stress, and provides irrigation and water management solutions to growers to help them farm more efficiently.

Hydrosat’s IrriWatch product supports customers in 36 countries across 4 million acres of farmland, enabling growers to optimize farming operations and increase crop yields by as much as 50% while consuming 25% less water.
