Water

Data science for the water industry

Water data is unforgiving: noisy sensors, sparse records, real consequences. Opotus brings a research-grade approach shaped by years of academic and industry work in the water sector.

What we offer


Hydrological and environmental analysis

Rainfall, flow and quality data analysed with methods that respect their physical meaning, not just their statistics.

Forecasting and uncertainty

Demand, rainfall and flow forecasting with honest uncertainty estimates, so decisions are made knowing how much to trust the numbers.

Asset and network analytics

Making sense of asset registers, telemetry and network data: condition, performance, leakage and investment insight.

Research and innovation support

Support for R&D projects, bids and publications, bridging the gap between academic methods and operational reality.

Why Opotus

Grounded in research, tested in industry


Opotus is led by Francesca Cecinati, whose peer-reviewed research on rainfall data and uncertainty in the water sector has been published in international journals, and who has spent years applying those methods inside the industry itself.

  • Years of applied experience with water utilities and sector consultancies
  • Specialist expertise in rainfall data, uncertainty and hydrological modelling
