A cloud-native, federated catalog for indexing, harmonizing, and distributing the world’s water models.
We invite researchers and agencies to onboard their own models.
Whether your model specializes in groundwater-dominated flow, karst systems, or impervious urban runoff, indexing it to FlowFabric provides two critical advantages:
Immediate Benchmarking: Instant performance validation against the National Water Model and operational standards.
Streamlined Dissemination: Once indexed, your model outputs are automatically standardized and exposed via our API. This removes the friction of data distribution, effectively operationalizing your research and making it immediately consumable by downstream applications and users without additional engineering overhead.
Our platform supports a hybrid governance model. We host hydrology and landscape data in resilient, high-performance catalogs supported by internal, partner, and federated assets.
Public Access: Contribute to the open science community.
Permissioned Datasets: Tightly controlled access for proprietary or sensitive commercial models.
You decide who accesses your information, while we provide the secure, scalable infrastructure to serve it reliably.
Data is organized by dataset_id (e.g., NWM, GloFAS, or User-Uploaded Models) and run (forecast cycle/issue time). This hierarchical structure allows users to precisely query specific forecast initializations or historical hindcasts.
Core Capabilities
Dynamic Streamflow: Query stored time-series after or before streamflow propagation or enhancement.
Hydraulic Geometries: Retrieve rating curves (/ratings) and river stage (/stage) derived from our ML-enhanced channel parameters.
Impact Analysis: Access flood inundation records (/inundation-ids) linked to specific discharge thresholds.
