Discover Top Software Solutions For Land And Water Management Needs

Upstream Tech builds science-backed software for efficient land and water management by leveraging the leading sources of satellite data and innovation in artificial intelligence.

We have two flagship products that help government agencies dramatically improve land and water management, while saving time and money – Lens, a remote land monitoring platform, and HydroForecast, the world’s most accurate streamflow forecast.

1. Lens - Federal, state, and local government agencies use Lens to modernize remote land monitoring workflows and minimize overhead. Many government agencies face the ongoing challenge of efficiently overseeing vast areas of land while operating under budget restrictions, limited staff, or other various resource constraints. Enter Lens, which makes it easy for agencies to monitor and manage diverse landscapes and infrastructure by leveraging a wide range of datasets to facilitate conservation land monitoring, forest management, agricultural BMP adoption, post-disaster response, and land use planning. With Lens, government partners unlock significant cost and time savings to track changes more efficiently than ever before, standardize and streamline reporting, and support transparent information-sharing.
2. HydroForecast - Designed to help government agencies with efficient and accurate water resource decision making, HydroForecast leverages AI to combine weather forecasts with satellite imagery. The result is the most accurate probabilistic streamflow forecasts available, allowing our government partners to plan for streamflow events hours, days, weeks, months, and even decades into the future with industry-leading accuracy and reliability. Leveraging HydroForecast, our customers 1) increase safety by identifying and preventing critical errors, 2) increase revenue by minimizing spills, shifting production times, and optimizing trading, 3) optimize operations by building resilience and freeing up staff time, and 4) ensure compliance by avoiding legal and regulatory exposure. 

Since our founding in 2016, we've continuously worked to develop and improve Lens and HydroForecast to ensure our products meet the needs of environmental organizations, government agencies, utilities, and private companies. This work has been recognized by top agencies and backed by industry leaders including the U.S. Department of Energy, NOAA, and the National Hydropower Association. Through R&D grants, industry contests, and customer results, our products have received praise for their scalable impact.

Our 35+ team members—experts in software engineering, machine learning, geospatial sciences, and hydrology—develop products that help organizations monitor, analyze, and make faster, data-driven decisions for natural resource management.
