In a groundbreaking move to boost climate resilience and protect the environment, Severn Trent<\/strong> is working with satellite technology leader ICEYE<\/strong> to enhance flood and wastewater management capabilities across its network in the Midlands. <\/p>\n

Severn Trent, one of the UK\u2019s largest water utility companies serving over 8 million customers, is leveraging ICEYE\u2019s Flood Insights Solution, powered by cutting-edge Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites, to monitor inundation to its wastewater assets. This collaboration supports Severn Trent\u2019s commitment to meeting stringent Environment Agency regulatory requirements while improving transparency, operational response, and public trust.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a transformational step forward for us,\u201d <\/em>said Richard Walwyn<\/strong>, Head of Asset Intelligence and Innovation at Severn Trent. \u201cICEYE\u2019s satellite technology gives us a clear view of what\u2019s happened on the ground during extreme weather despite cloud coverage. Having a better understanding of how inundation affects our assets enables us to plan interventions and optimise how our network performs to minimise impacts for our customers and the environment.\u201d  <\/p>\n

Severn Trent is the first UK water utility to adopt ICEYE\u2019s SAR satellite technology, marking a significant shift in how the industry tackles flooding and storm-related disruptions. The relationship began by assessing how past floods impacted critical infrastructure in Shrewsbury, one of England\u2019s most flood-prone towns due to the River Severn, and is now expanding access across the company\u2019s full service area.<\/p>\n

Following severe weather, ICEYE\u2019s satellite data enables Severn Trent to rapidly assess flood extent and depth. By integrating ICEYE\u2019s data into its existing GIS and applying data science to analyse its sensor readings, Severn Trent is able to get a better understanding of the impact of river flooding on its waste network. Severn Trent uses this capability to improve incident transparency and identify preventative measures to mitigate inundation and its impact on wastewater management services.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the pressure on water companies to act faster and communicate better during climate events, our flood data gives Severn Trent the clarity it needs to protect its customers, serving as a source of storm impact data. We\u2019re proud to support utility companies and water management organisations around the world, setting the standard for innovation and responsibility,\u201d said Andy Read<\/strong>, Global Head of Government Solutions, ICEYE. <\/p>\n
