Case Study: Mekong River Commission improves river data reliability with Aquatic Informatics' Aquarius software

Mekong River Commission centralizes 10,000+ datasets with Aquatic Informatics

The Mekong River Commission (MRC), an intergovernmental body, faced the challenge of managing vast amounts of environmental data from over 600 stations across the Mekong River Basin. Their reliance on manual data entry and Excel spreadsheets made it difficult to analyze information and share meaningful insights with member countries for sustainable water management. To overcome this, they implemented the Aquarius time-series data management platform from vendor Aquatic Informatics.

Aquatic Informatics' solution centralized all of the MRC's disparate data into a single, secure Aquarius platform. This enabled robust quality assurance and transformed raw data into actionable insights. The results include a powerful public data portal with over 10,000 datasets, improved forecasting for floods and droughts, and strengthened regional collaboration, establishing the MRC as a definitive transboundary knowledge hub for the river.
