What if water data were as accessible as weather data?

In this episode of Climate Hive: What Do You Solve?, Kevin Drolet and Mike Higgins sit down with Snehal Verma, CEO and Co-Founder, and Mohammad Aatish Khan, COO and Co-Founder of NatureDots.

NatureDots is building predictive intelligence for water, helping aquaculture businesses, water utilities, energy companies, conservation organizations and researchers understand what is changing in a water system before it becomes expensive or catastrophic.

The conversation starts with small-scale fish farmers, whose entire harvest can be lost when water quality shifts in a matter of hours. From there, we explore how NatureDots uses AI, digital twins, virtual sensors and billions of data points to make water intelligence more accessible, affordable and actionable.

They also unpack why water remains a massive data gap, how predictive insights can support risk mitigation and insurance, and what it takes to build a water-tech company at the intersection of climate, nature and AI.
