ArboAqua
Water catchment area tool for forest and environment professionals in Finland.
Dynamic, Easy-to-Use Catchment Area Analysis
ArboAqua is a newly launched tool that enables fast and flexible catchment delineation from small areas to large regions in seconds. ArboAqua includes a water flow accumulation map that helps identify the most probable waterways and drainage structures within the area. It is particularly suited for environmental applications such as nature restoration and wetland development.
Detailed cropping with the 2-meter resolution
Analysis based on a LiDAR derived National Land Survey’s elevation model
Use via the web interface
For professionals in forestry, environment or agriculture
Core Features for Your Informed Decisions
Catchment area definition
ArboAqua calculates catchment areas by modeling how water naturally flows across the landscape. The analysis accounts for terrain features and routes water from higher elevations toward downstream discharge points, producing hydrologically sound catchment boundaries.
Measurement tools
ArboAqua lets you quickly check distances and areas directly on the map to support planning and assessment.
- Measure distances to understand lengths of streams, boundaries, or flow paths
- Measure areas to determine catchment size for analysis and reporting
Maps and terrain layers
ArboAqua combines multiple geospatial layers to help you understand water flows. Each layer adds a different perspective for analysis.
