What satellite data does the expert mode use?

The expert mode integrates NASA/ISRO NISAR L-band SAR and SoilGrids for soil moisture, ISRO Bhuvan for India terrain and land use, NASA POWER, Open-Meteo, IMD Online, Tomorrow.io, and Copernicus DEM for watershed delineation, plus EU systems ECMWF CDS ERA5, EFAS, OpenWeatherMap, and Meteostat — all fused into one engineering workflow.

What predictive rainfall horizons does the expert mode provide?

The expert mode ships five predictive rainfall horizons in one panel: a 0–16 day ECMWF IFS 9 km deterministic forecast, an up to 7-month ECMWF SEAS5 seasonal outlook, a 16-day ECMWF ENS 50-member ensemble with P10 / P50 / P90 uncertainty envelope, a CMIP6 2025 → 2050 climate projection for climate-adjusted tank and recharge-pit sizing, and a 9-month long-range job that blends SEAS5 months 1–7 with ERA5 climatology months 8–9. Every horizon is compared against a 10-year ERA5 baseline and auto-converted into expected harvest volume for BRSR, GRI 303, CDP Water Security, and World Bank ESF climate-risk disclosures.

Can the expert mode generate CGWA NOC documentation?

Yes. The expert mode generates ESG, SDG, BRSR, and NOC-ready RWH supporting regulatory documentation including hydrogeological evidence packages for CGWA Bhu-Neer NOCAP portal submissions.

Who should use the expert rainwater harvesting platform?

The expert mode is designed for hydrogeologists, civil engineers, architects, green building consultants, EPC contractors, and government authorities managing large-scale or multi-building rainwater harvesting and groundwater recharge projects.

How does the 50-member ECMWF ENS ensemble improve predictive rainwater harvesting design?

The 16-day ECMWF ENS ensemble runs the atmospheric model 50 times with perturbed initial conditions, giving a P10 / P50 / P90 uncertainty envelope for every day. The expert planner sizes tanks and recharge pits against P90 (wet-side risk) and P10 (dry-side deficit) simultaneously, so a single design withstands both a monsoon burst and a monsoon failure. This is the same probabilistic framing that CDP Water Security A-list disclosures and World Bank ESF climate-risk reviews expect.

What does the CMIP6 2025 → 2050 projection do to my rainwater harvesting design?

The CMIP6 layer applies a downscaled climate delta (SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 pathways) to your site's historical rainfall envelope, giving expected harvest volume every 5 years out to 2050. The expert planner uses that curve to climate-adjust tank sizing, recharge-pit density, and payback period — so a 25-year asset is designed against 2040 rainfall, not 2010 rainfall. Outputs flow directly into BRSR 9(iii), GRI 303-3, TCFD climate-risk, and IGBC / GRIHA future-proofing sections.

What is the 9-month long-range blended forecast and when should I use it?

The 9-month blended job stitches ECMWF SEAS5 months 1–7 (the reliable seasonal window) with ERA5 climatology months 8–9 (statistical fallback) so you get a continuous rainfall curve nine months ahead. Use it for annual water-balance planning, ESG capex committee reviews, agricultural + industrial demand forecasting, and CGWA annual compliance filings — anywhere a single fiscal year of forward rainfall is more useful than a two-week deterministic forecast.
