CGIAR AI Hub – Global Hydrological Foundation Model

The UAE AI Hub will develop a groundbreaking initiative to provide universal access to AI-powered, real-time insights for addressing water challenges. At the heart of this effort is the Global Hydrological Foundation Model—a scalable, AI-driven framework, built from real-time global datasets and hydrological modelling. Its primary purpose is to dramatically accelerate the development and deployment of high-resolution, basin-scale hydrological models, particularly in data-scarce or climate-vulnerable regions.
