Water Hawk.
Critical-infrastructure intelligence.

Beneath thirty thousand municipalities

Public water systems are critical infrastructure, undefended at scale, and largely opaque to the customers and investors who underwrite them. Water Hawk scores every U.S. public water system on chemical-supplier exposure and discharge posture using only public sources, then delivers decision-grade briefs for chemical suppliers, infrastructure investors, and federal agencies. Built by Salian Defense; lives at waterhawk.io.

I.WHO IT IS FOR

Three audiences. One picture of the same system.

Water Hawk is built for the people writing the next contract, underwriting the next bond, or scoring the next vendor against a water utility's risk profile. Each audience pulls a different slice of the same dataset.

A · CHEMICAL SUPPLIERS
Sample bid brief

Every public water system in the United States scored on its chemical-supplier exposure: what it buys, from whom, at what volume, against which discharge constraints. Sample brief available before subscription.

  • 50,000+ public water systems indexed
  • Chemical-supplier graph (who sells to whom)
  • Discharge posture per system
  • Bid-ready briefs on demand
B · INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTORS
Underwriting overlay

Municipal bond and water-utility-acquisition diligence layered on top of EPA SDWIS, NPDES discharge records, and the chemical-supplier graph. The picture the rating agencies cannot give you.

  • System-level risk scores
  • Capex pressure indicators
  • Compliance-violation history
  • Custom watch-list export
C · FEDERAL + STATE
Critical-infrastructure surveillance

EPA, CISA, and state-water-board users get an unbroken view of supplier-side concentration, discharge anomalies, and the small-utility blind spot. Public sources only; deployable in regulator workflows.

  • Supplier-concentration heatmaps
  • Anomaly detection on discharge
  • Small-utility coverage where rating-agency data ends
  • API access for agency workflows
D · CROSS-PLATFORM
Wired to the rest of Salian

A Water Hawk marketplace seller signing up as a small contractor gets surfaced for an FCL readiness assessment in Project Hawk. The same audit chain. The same identity.

  • Seller signup → Project Hawk FCL offer
  • Federal opportunity overlay via RFI Hawk
  • Shared cross-venture audit chain
  • One identity across every Salian venture
II.METHODOLOGY
/ DATA POSTURE

Built from public sources only. No utility relationships required.

Water Hawk synthesizes EPA SDWIS, NPDES discharge monitoring reports, Form 990 spending disclosures, state PUC filings, USGS withdrawals, and Census water-utility classifications. We never operate inside a utility's systems and never store proprietary supplier data. The result is a uniform national scoring grid that does not depend on any single utility's willingness to share.

›COMMON QUESTIONS

Water Hawk, answered.

What is Water Hawk?
Water Hawk is an intelligence product covering United States public water infrastructure. It scores every public water system on chemical-supplier exposure and discharge posture, compiled entirely from public sources and delivered as decision-grade briefs. It runs at waterhawk.io and is an affiliated venture of Salian Defense rather than a Praesidium Suite product.
Where does Water Hawk's data come from?
Public sources only. Water Hawk compiles from published federal and state regulatory records, permit filings, and disclosure data. It does not ingest utility-supplied data, does not require a relationship with the systems it scores, and holds no operational or control-system information. That constraint is what lets it cover every public water system rather than only cooperating ones.
Who uses Water Hawk?
Three audiences read the same picture differently: investors and acquirers assessing infrastructure exposure, suppliers and service providers sizing a market, and public-sector and security analysts looking at critical-infrastructure risk. The underlying scoring is the same; the brief is framed to the question being asked.
What is chemical-supplier exposure?
Chemical-supplier exposure measures how concentrated a water system's treatment chemical supply is, and how vulnerable that concentration makes it to a disruption at a single supplier or in a single supply corridor. A system with one viable source for a critical treatment chemical carries a different risk profile than one with several, even when both are fully compliant today.
Is Water Hawk part of the Praesidium Suite?
No. Water Hawk is an affiliated venture built by the same team, alongside RFI Hawk and Project Hawk. The Praesidium Suite is the six-product line of software built for accredited and air-gapped environments, where accreditation is granted by the applicable Accrediting Official or Cognizant Security Authority (AO/CSA). Water Hawk works from public data and has no accredited-environment deployment.
