Articulating the FIDO AI Watershed

Building a legacy across the Colorado River Basin

THE CHALLENGE

We envision a future where the water supply in the Colorado River Basin is abundant, resilient and healthy – forever. A world of equitable access, where water quality is consistently prioritized and all communities, habitats and industries always have clean, safe water. By connecting all stakeholders as a catalytic community, we can ensure the Colorado River is a thriving, resilient lifeline nurturing everyone.

THE SOLUTION

To bring together the data from all projects, and connect the disconnected to help better inform long-term planning for improved healthy water supplies across the Colorado River Basin.

We are building the world’s first AI watershed model. How will this work? For the first time, data from disparate single projects will be unified into the central FIDO AI model. Connections will be made between complex watershed characteristics to extract real-time insight. Why? To enable joined-up human action and decision-making.

FOUR STAGE APPROACH

Stage One

Expand the reach of our core water replenishment program with corporate-utility partnerships across the entire basin.

Stage Two

Integrate additional validated data sets from partners to uncover connections between discrete watershed events.

Stage Three

Facilitate detailed management strategies that link utilities, agriculture, planners, municipalities, and communities.

Stage Four

Ensure easy, equitable access to real-time water management information using generative AI.
