Skylark Drones has entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding with WELL Labs to advance high-precision, data-driven water-resource intelligence across India. The collaboration combines Skylark’s large-scale drone-mapping infrastructure and geospatial analytics with WELL Labs’ hydrological science, field research, and government partnerships to address the country’s intensifying water-management challenges.

The partnership focuses on developing next-generation models for watershed management, urban hydrology, flood resilience, and climate-linked water planning. By integrating hyperlocal drone data with scientific modelling frameworks, the two organisations aim to create decision systems that work at both granular and regional scales—an area where traditional satellite-driven approaches often fall short.

The alliance is positioned to help state governments, urban bodies, and development partners shift from reactive crisis response to predictive water governance. With India entering a decade defined by climate volatility, rapid urbanisation, and mounting pressure on aquifers and catchments, the joint platform is expected to provide earlier warnings, faster diagnostics, and more accurate planning inputs for public institutions and communities.

By building a unified, evidence-driven intelligence layer for water systems, Skylark and WELL Labs intend to support national and state-level missions focused on climate adaptation, drought proofing, watershed rejuvenation, and resilient infrastructure development.
