Water intelligence, confident decisions.

Evaluate viable water sources for supply, quality, and legal risk, all in one analysis.

Let’s talk water

Site Selection

For developers and siting teams evaluating large-load sites, water can make or break a deal. ARCHER intelligence screens every water source near a site for supply, quality, and legal risk, and delivers an in-depth report with a clear go or no-go in less than two weeks.

Integrated National Data

ARCHER draws on licensed and public national datasets, state regulatory records, and regional water studies in one maintained data environment. Hydrology, water quality, and water law are analyzed together instead of pulled from separate sources.

Source-Level Analysis

Every stream, reservoir, aquifer, and utility connection within 20 miles of a site is identified and scored individually. Watershed averages are broken down so a single weak source isn’t hidden behind healthy regional numbers.

Built-In Water Law Logic

ARCHER applies the governing water rights doctrine in each state to rate curtailment and permitting risk for every source.

Automatic No-Go Detection

ARCHER checks each site against known deal-breakers, including basin closures, moratoria, compact limits, and active adjudications. Results are rolled up into a ranked set of supply options and a clear advance or do-not-advance recommendation.

Screenshot of the ARCHER hydrologic evaluation tool showing a map focused on Allen County, Indiana, with various water stress, depletion, and quality monitoring data. The left panel displays input and result tabs, regional water risk summary labeled Medium, and numerical values for water stress, depletion, and quality. The map legend indicates water stress levels, waterbody types, and monitoring points such as streams, lakes, and groundwater with color-coded markers. The map shows river basins and monitoring sites with colored lines and symbols representing good, unassessed, and polluted water quality.

Map section showing parts of Ohio including Lima, Van Wert, and Decatur, overlaid with a water risk data table. The table lists summer depletion, 5-year depletion trend, nearest USGS gauge distance, watershed stress, and regulatory risk. Entries show high to medium depletion, low watershed stress, and medium regulatory risk highlighted in a magnified circle.

The sidebar displays options for water monitoring, including major basins, waterbodies, aquifers, well logs, depletion monitoring, and water quality monitoring. Checked options include Waterbodies and Depletion Monitoring with symbols for stream, lake/reservoir, and groundwater. A highlighted orange button labeled 'Advance with Conditions' is zoomed in within a white circular magnifier.

Basin Water Health Assessment.

For water agencies, basin commissions, and utilities, planning for growing demand often means working with limited staff and data spread across dozens of disparate sources.


ARCHER intelligence assesses how a basin is performing, what drives its challenges, and who influences that basin, then identifies projects matched to partners and funding. Our team works alongside your team to carry the findings forward.

Informational summary document titled '01 At a glance' from Infra science & engineering about a 1966-priority winter water right on the Touchet River for groundwater storage. Key data include replenishment volume of 1,083 million gallons per year, unit cost $506–1,338 per million gallons, and capital cost $6–18 million. A bar chart shows volume cases bounded by divertible flow: high (2,001 MG/yr), design case (1,083 MG/yr), and low (619 MG/yr). Sections outline gating questions on baseline flow, relinquishment, and trust exit concerning water rights. The document references Walla Walla Basin watershed recharge program with about 60% design case per site.

The left panel displays regional water risk summary with medium risk, water stress scores for surface, groundwater, and summer stress, water depletion metrics for streams and groundwater, and water quality score. The map on the right shows water bodies, streams, and groundwater monitoring locations with a legend describing water stress levels, basin boundaries, depletion monitoring points (streams, lakes, groundwater), and water quality status (good, unassessed, polluted).

Sub-Watershed Resolution

ARCHER analyzes every sub-watershed in the basin and reports results as a distribution, not just a basin average.

Governance and Legal Framework

Mapped allocation rules, interstate obligations, and groundwater management framework that govern the basin.

Stakeholder Mapping

Get a register of every entity that manages, uses, regulates, or depends on water in the basin. ARCHER provides profiles that include role, interest, influence, and existing collaboratives and initiatives.

Project Matching

ARCHER matches documented basin challenges to specific project concepts where they’re needed, unlocking potential implementing partners and funding pathways.
