Wyoming State Engineer’s Office Case Study
Surface Water Monitoring
Making Wyoming’s water data align with USGS water data, and increasing accuracy

Loren Smith, Wyoming State Engineer’s Office
"We have improved the accuracy of our record, which is critical. Creating a reproducible, archiveable, legally defensible record—and being able to publish that record to USGS standards, which is the national standard for us. The Ratings Package stands out. It’s a tool that we’ve wanted forever, and we’ve finally found something that really does what we had in mind. It’s flexible—you just grab a line and adjust which curve you’re using, and how that curve is related to the measurements or the actual skeletal points. That wasn’t possible before."

Coastal Carolina Case Study
Water Quality Analysis
Allowing for the exploration of massive quantities of water quality data

Dr. Susan Libes, Waccamaw Watershed Academy
”AQUARIUS makes it possible for me to do things with data that otherwise would be impossible. With AQUARIUS I have all the data right at my fingertips. I never have to prune data or make decisions about which part of the data I should manipulate. AQUARIUS has empowered me to do so much more data exploration than I could have undertaken if I was stuck using Excel. I’m not aware of any other software on the market that does what AQUARIUS does.”

Berkeley National Laboratory Case Study
Operational Environmental Systems
Using AQUARIUS Berkeley Lab's managed to cut data review time by 90%

Dr Nigel Quinn, Berkeley National Laboratory
"It used to take a lot of time and effort to move the data from where it is collected, migrate it into a QA system, and then disseminate it. With AQUARIUS, we can provide accurate information in near real-time. The managers have gained far more confidence, because their people can show them the data in a variety of formats—more flexible formats. They can be shown the original data and what has been done to it, all the QA points. AQUARIUS has provided a degree of confidence in the process that no one had before.”

South Dakota DENR Case Study
Hydrology & Environmental Analytics
Reproducible, defensible Empirical Modeling and extrapolation of water data for TDMLs
|
|
Sean Kruger, South Dakota DENR
"Using the Empirical Model, we were able to calculate how often the lake’s water level would have actually increased over the last 30 years, under the proposed management plan. It really helped the board decide that it was better not to allow them to bring water in. This was my first attempt at using the Empirical Modeler, and the fact that in two days I could come up with a working model that recreates 30 years of data—it speaks very well of the software’s ease of use."
