Brightstorm develops, validates, and deploys digital stormwater solutions that use sensors, real‑time data, and machine learning to help communities upgrade outdated infrastructure and plan for the future. By piloting and validating smart technologies with public agencies and landowners, Brightstorm improves water quality, reduces flood risk, and builds resilient ecosystems.

Freshwater systems connect headwaters, forests, cities, and coasts, yet decades of development have disrupted the natural flow that sustains them. Hard surfaces prevent water from soaking into the ground, sending runoff into aging infrastructure and accelerating the fastest-growing source of pollution and flood risk: stormwater. Built for a different climate, most stormwater systems can no longer regulate water the way ecosystems require. With better data and smarter controls, we can help existing infrastructure capture rainfall, filter pollutants, and restore healthier flow patterns across entire watersheds.
