Data & Information Systems
Discover the "Data & Information Systems" expertise in 3'!

Since the 1990s, changes in water management regulations have encouraged the massive acquisition of environmental data (water, soil, subsoil, air, climate, etc.). This data, from both public and private sources, has made it possible to refine our understanding and management of water and, more generally, of ecosystems.
In recent years, this phenomenon has accelerated with the rise of remote data collection tools, the opening up of data and the development of open and participatory science. Driven by a growing collective awareness, data is now a key resource for understanding, deciding and acting in favour of the planet.
Since its creation, OiEau has been working to improve environmental data management by facilitating the collection, accessibility and re-use of data, while guaranteeing its reliability and comparability.
In this way, OiEau provides all players in the private and public sectors (local authorities, industrialists, decision-makers, technicians, researchers, etc.) with scientifically robust information to guide their actions.
Faced with the massive volume, speed and variability of environmental data, OiEau has been developing appropriate technologies and analytical methods since its creation.
Data analysis and the exploitation of digital knowledge are at the heart of its strategy. OiEau relies on a team of multilingual PhD scientists and engineers with a wide range of expertise, enabling them to deal with a wide range of themes and issues such as water, the environment, health, agriculture, economics, law, data management and standardisation, digital services and hosting infrastructures, for example.
OiEau carries out diagnostics and develops sustainable, interoperable information systems incorporating operational digital services covering the entire data value chain. It is also leading innovative projects on intelligent sensors, artificial intelligence applied to data, satellite observation and digital twins.
OiEau supports a wide range of public and private actors at all levels (local, regional, national and international) in the production and dissemination of their environmental data, in conjunction with Big Data. It also provides training in best practices for mobilising and sharing data and knowledge.
OiEau's actions cover the entire water cycle, and include setting up information systems to achieve, for example:
- balanced management of water resources
- rational, sustainable development of land and nature,
- optimal drinking water, sewerage, irrigation and rainwater management services,
- efficient treatment of aquatic waste, water and industrial waste;
- efficient risk prevention ;
etc.
