We Believe “Water” is the new “Weather”
What We Do – True Qi®
We automate the collection of data from all parts of the natural world—tracking weather patterns, water flows, watersheds, land contours, soil properties, crop cycles, aquifers, pollutants, and groundwater sources—along with anything else that influences water quality, quantity, or overall water impacts.
Our system – True Qi® – seamlessly integrates information from over 150 federal and state databases, 1.5 million sensors, satellite imagery from Google Earth and the Microsoft Planetary Computer, as well as data from NGOs and private sources worldwide.
With this rich data, our solutions provide insight-based decision support for past, present, and future water conditions—helping businesses, governments, and citizens understand water availability, risks, and climate impacts across the United States and around the world.
The Problem True Elements Solves
Water is one of the most critical yet poorly understood resources in the world, and the challenges surrounding it are escalating rapidly. Organizations must navigate increasing water risks, yet they lack timely, reliable, and predictive intelligence to make informed decisions.
Water Data is Fragmented and Hard to Use
Water data is distributed across thousands of databases globally, each using different formats and structures, making integration nearly impossible.
Water professionals, planners, engineers, risk managers, and consultants must manually search for data, resulting in long investigation times, high costs, and static, outdated information.
Reports based on traditional methods are often out of date as soon as they are presented because they rely on static data rather than continuously updated intelligence.
Water Uncertainty is Increasing
Floods, droughts, contamination events, and water scarcity are worsening, yet organizations lack forecasting capabilities to plan for future impacts. Water is no longer just an environmental issue—it has become a financial, operational, and regulatory risk affecting supply chains, real estate, agriculture, and public health.
Regulatory and Investment Pressures are Growing
Governments and businesses face increasing sustainability and compliance requirements related to water and climate risk. Investors and policymakers demand greater transparency, yet organizations struggle to quantify, manage, and report water-related risks.
How True Elements Solves the Problem
True Elements provides customers with a way to achieve disruptive productivity by removing complexity from water intelligence with a single, AI-powered platform that:
Automates the collection of water data across 150+ federal/state agencies, private sources, and global environmental databases.
Normalizes fragmented data, applies geospatial intelligence, and creates interactive dashboards and reports that are continuously updated, ensuring decisions are based on the latest data.
Delivers predictive analytics to help organizations anticipate future floods, droughts, contamination events, and climate-related risks.
Drastically reduces the cost and time of traditional water risk assessments, enabling governments and businesses to plan for resilience with real-time and future-facing insights.
Our Customer Focus
We serve consultants, engineers, businesses, government agencies, NGOs, and universities, providing them with the water intelligence needed for informed decision-making.
Advisory and Engineering Consultants – We “tech-enable” consultants responsible for resiliency planning, watershed management, and predictive analytics.
Business – We help businesses become “data ready” with real-time water intelligence for operations, resilience planning, and sustainability.
Government Agencies, NGOs, and Universities – We support water data management across multiple agencies with a full suite of capabilities. Our solutions help federal, state, and local governments, NGOs, and universities allocate scarce budget dollars to research rather than costly technology system builds.
With this rich data, our solutions provide insight-based decision support for past, present, and future water conditions—helping businesses, governments, and citizens understand water availability, risks, and climate impacts across the United States and around the world.
