The AI for Water.

NEER is the AI agent for your water, sewer and stormwater systems. Ask it to build a model, run a storm, check every hydrant or plan the budget. It does the work, shows its sources and waits for your approval.

How it fits together

One loop, from data to decisions.

NEER senses your system, reasons about it with models and risk, acts through your crews and capital plan, and learns from what happens next. Every product has a place in the loop.

What happens in the field feeds back into what NEER senses next.

Growth and development

Can your system handle the next development?

When a developer files plans, NEER updates your water, sewer and stormwater models with the new demand, flow and runoff, checks every level of service, and proposes what it would take to say yes.

Planning asksCan our systems serve the 240-unit development at Oak and 9th?
Drinking waterPressure and fire flow

New demand added to the EPANET model. Pressure holds; fire flow falls short until one main is upsized.

Upsize 340 ft of 6-in main to 8-in
SewerCapacity at the 10-year storm

Added baseflow and the RDII your standard allows. The trunk stays within its level of service.

Meets level of service
StormwaterPre- vs post-development

More pavement raises the peak. Underground storage brings it back to the pre-development rate.

28,000 cf of storage

Illustration. Figures are an example, not a customer result.

Water

New demands on the right junctions, then pressure, capacity and fire flow at every hydrant near the site.

Sewer

Updated baseflow, with RDII allocated at the rate your standard allows, run against your 5- or 10-year level of service.

Stormwater

Pre- and post-development runoff compared, and options sized to close the gap: detention basins, underground storage, and more.

One network

One manhole, five names. Until now.

Your GIS, CMMS, model, meter vendor and CCTV contractor each call the same asset something different. NEER joins them into one record, so a question reaches every system at once.

Digital transformation

From reactive to autonomous.

Most utilities start on the left. NEER takes you up one step at a time, and each step pays for itself before the next.

Level 1

Reactive

Fix it when it breaks. Data lives in spreadsheets, binders and one person's head. The model is five years old.

Where most systems are today

Level 2

Connected

Network, sensors, inspections and rainfall on one map, checked automatically. Everyone sees the same numbers.

With NEER AIP, managed monitoring and Field & Collect

Level 3

Predictive

Calibrated models, risk scores for every asset and a capital plan optimized for your budget. You know where to spend before you spend.

With the NEER Agent, Hydra, risk and optimization

Level 4

Autonomous

The system forecasts the next storm, flags the pipes at risk, drafts the work orders and alerts the crew. Your team reviews and approves.

With the Digital Twin and your own agents over MCP

NEER Agent

One intelligence for water, sewer and stormwater.

NEER is the agent at the center of your system. It knows your network, reads every sensor and model, and works across all three systems, so a question about a storm, a main break or a capital plan has one place to go.

Ask for the model. NEER builds it.

It sets up models, calibrates them and runs design storms from a sentence. It shows where every number comes from, and nothing changes until you approve it.

Watershed delineation

Drop a boundary or HUC ID. Streams and sub-watersheds come back ready for SWMM or HEC-RAS.

Hydraulic models

SWMM and EPANET built from your GIS, run, and checked for mass balance and flooding.

Stormwater risk

Forecast rain, gauges and asset condition fused into a flood-risk map by sub-basin.

Flood rasters

HEC-RAS models from scratch, with depth and extent rasters for planning or FEMA submittals.

Know what to fix, and when.

Score every pipe and manhole, then let NEER find the mix of projects that does the most for your budget, checked with real model runs.

Condition and risk

Every asset, scored and explained.

Likelihood of failure from condition, age and material. Consequence from what each pipe serves and what sits above it. Every run is saved, compared and adopted when you're ready.

  • PACP and MACP inspections, with video, from any vendor's export
  • Work orders and cleaning history from your CMMS
  • Likelihood × consequence, with the reason for every score
  • Risk over time, so you see what waiting costs
  • Inspection and cleaning cycles planned from the scores

Risk matrix

Illustration. Each dot is a pipe; the top right is where to act first.
Optimization studies

The best projects for your budget.

List your candidate projects: upsizing, storage, rehab, pumps. NEER tests thousands of combinations against your model and lays out the trade-off between cost and results, so you choose with the numbers in front of you.

  • Multi-objective search scored by real SWMM and EPANET runs
  • Goals for overflows, flood volume, surcharge, basement backups, pressure and fire flow
  • Risk reduction over time, not just today
  • A year-by-year program that fits your budget, exported to GIS and work orders

Know before the storm arrives.

Your calibrated model and a neural network for every sensor, running each hour on live data, SCADA and forecast rain. For drinking water, NEER forecasts tomorrow's demand hour by hour, so you can plan pumps and tanks before the morning peak.

  • Sewer: flow and depth in every pipe, warning of overflows and surcharge
  • Stormwater: levels at outfalls, inlets and flood-prone streets
  • Drinking water: hourly demand forecasts by zone from AMI meter reads, with tank levels and pressure from SCADA and pressure loggers
  • Setup, monthly QA/QC and staff training included

Hyperlocal weather

Rain at the scale of your streets.

Storms don't fall evenly on a city. NEER starts from radar corrected against rain gauges, adds NOAA's forecast, sharpens it with AI and turns it into flood maps for the next hours, street by street.

ObservedRadar, corrected by gauges

Gauge-adjusted radar rainfall for every subcatchment, with history for calibration.

ForecastNOAA HRRR, hourly

The next 18 hours of rain, updated every hour, feeding scheduled model runs.

SharpenedAI downscaling

Generative AI (NVIDIA CorrDiff) adds the local detail a regional forecast misses.

FloodingFlood maps, hours ahead

Eight hours of observed rain and sixteen of forecast run through the model: depth at every step, and the buildings and roads it reaches.

Illustrations. Weather and flood forecasting are part of the digital twin; radar rainfall is included in every plan.

NEER Field and Collect

The map in every crew's pocket.

NEER Field puts rounds and inspections on a phone, online or off. Every photo and reading lands on the asset it belongs to, and supervisors review it before it counts. Collect turns any question into a public form behind a QR code.

  • Rounds and inspections on the phone, offline in the field
  • Photos, readings and checklists tied to each pipe, manhole or hydrant
  • Supervisors review and correct submissions before they're final
  • Public reports by QR code, with map and photo questions, no account needed
  • Exports to CSV and shapefile

Neural models

Physics models, trained into neural networks.

Live decisions can't wait hours for a 2D run. NEER runs your calibrated model thousands of times, trains a neural network on the results, and forecasts every pipe, junction and street in seconds. The physics model stays the source of truth.

01Your calibrated model

SWMM, EPANET, HEC-RAS or Hydra, calibrated to your meters.

02Thousands of scenarios

Design storms, forecast rain, demands and pump settings, each run through the physics model.

03A neural network learns it

Trained on the runs to predict depth, flow and pressure everywhere, not just at the sensors.

04Live forecasts in seconds
Physics run
Neural forecast

Every forecast is checked against the physics model and your sensors, and the network retrains when the model changes.

Illustration. Speed-up depends on the model and the network.

Every pipe, not just the meters

The network predicts the whole system: flow in every pipe, pressure at every junction, depth on every street.

Grounded in physics

It learns from your calibrated model, and NEER compares its answers to the physics model and live sensors.

Fast enough to act on

Forecasts every hour on new rain and demand, so alerts arrive while there is still time to respond.
