Corporate Experience

OneRain provides a full range of innovative products, data, and services to meet our clients’ needs for high quality data in high value applications. OneRain serves government agencies, engineering, and hydrology markets where the rainfall, flow, weather, and related data impact communities, by the design and operation of significant facilities and infrastructure. Application areas include flood detection/response, sewer and reservoir operations, civil works, stormwater management, drought monitoring, hydrologic modeling, environmental studies and post-fire mitigation.

A distinguishing characteristic of our company is its expertise from instrumentation and maintenance through software and dissemination, with emphasis on accurate, verifiable and reliable data collection of rainfall and related hydrological data. OneRain’s professional services and solutions start in the field, integrate using appropriate telecommunications, and encompass data stored locally using mission critical software and/or centrally in OneRain data centers with live notification to agency customers about their concerns. We are continually adding data to our enterprise and we perform historical analyses as well. Our customers feel secure having all their data stored at both their place and ours to provide them redundancy and easy access.

Another distinguishing fact about our company is that we do not manufacture instruments and hardware, but rather we integrate them into solutions. We are agnostic when it comes to hardware platforms; we pick and choose across high quality vendors to create the solution that is most appropriate for the given application.

OneRain and its founders built, and OneRain today maintains most of the 350 real-time hydrologic monitoring sites on the Front Range of Colorado. Our tools and software are designed to maximize efficiency and data accuracy, at minimum cost to us and our customers.

In addition to the one-time contracts we secure with clients across the United States for gauge installation, network analysis, and maintenance oversight, we have 110 current customers that use our software and web services on a daily basis for the real-time visualization and management of their gauge data. This list includes Federal Agencies such as the Bureau of Reclamation, State agencies such as North Carolina, Regional agencies such as Clark County Regional Flood Control District, and local agencies such as Sacramento County.

Our expertise in gauging networks is based on multiple decades of experience and assessment. OneRain has evaluated numerous systems for agencies with ALERT rainfall and hydrology networks, including Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, Denver, CO (150 sites); Overland Park, KS (109 sites); Kansas City, MO (120 sites); Clark County, NV (229 sites); the Southern California ALERT Network (SCAN) includes San Diego (106 sites), Riverside (66 sites), San Bernardino (180 sites) Orange (73 sites), Los Angeles (303 sites), Ventura (188 sites) and Santa Barbara (61 sites) Counties; and Maricopa County, AZ (318 sites). For each evaluation, the deliverable provided was a technical memorandum that described the findings and made recommendations for improvement.
