Transforming how the world sees and safeguards its Waters
Welcome to KOhtari
A global leader in water quality intelligence.
We’re a water intelligence company, bringing digital visibility to our planet’s most precious resource.
Our world-first water quality monitoring solutions collect data at speed and scale using drones, IoT and robotics.
What sets us apart is our AI-powered platform, which goes far beyond measurement to show what’s happening in the water now and what’s likely to happen next.
For water companies, this supports faster, more confident decisions across catchments that help protect water quality and supply, as well as organisational reputation.
What We Do
We bring intelligent insight to the systems that keep our world running.
We combine real-time monitoring, AI-driven prediction and IoT-enabled data collection to give a clear, actionable view of water quality and risks.
These capabilities power our world-first solutions, from coastal water quality monitoring to algal bloom prediction.
Built for scale, our tools are ready to support water management challenges wherever they arise, safeguarding communities, ecosystems and reputation.
IoT
Automated drones combined with cutting edge robotics gather data points at scale from the environment, often in hard to reach places.
Data
We securely collect accurate information so you can trust what you’re seeing. Our tools make sure that data is easy to access and understand.
AI
Our ethical AI systems deliver powerful insights and enhance decision making, so you can catch issues earlier and respond with confidence.
Project
Smart skies, healthy waters
Current coastal water quality monitoring at scale is non existent. This results in risks to water companies’ reputations, public health, the environment and coastal economies.
Our £7M Ofwat-funded project is a world-first solution to this problem.
We’re combining robotics, automated drones and rapid shore-side testing to deliver scalable, real-time monitoring.
This solution will produce faster, smarter data than previously possible to enable water companies to better protect our coastal bathing sites.
The project is a collaboration between:
- Northumbrian Water
- Southern Water
- South West Water
- United Utilities
- Skyports Drone Services
- Proteus Instruments
- Newcastle University
- Tharsus
