Software Benefits for Groundwater Monitoring. All the Details, at Any Time.
WISKI
Water Resources Management
Archiving and managing measured data
Measured data from various sources can be archived and managed directly. Possible sources include measuring devices, which operate automatically or manually, remote data calls, manual collection during observational or control trips, external data and data archives. All relevant parameters are available for groundwater monitoring:
Relative and absolute water level (simultaneous display of dip measurement and meters above sea level)
Floor distance
Distribution speed
Flow rates and quotas
Water and air temperature
Precipitation
Qualitiative parameters, such as conductivity, pH value, clouding, and other chemical-physical parameters, measuring point and ground level elevation (with history management), etc.
All standard hydro-geological basic data plus the most important geological and drilling data can be managed in concise basic data sheets (tabs). All measured data is stored systematically, continuously, and centrally in a single database. WISKI offers an optimal basis for high data security, as original raw data is always maintained within the system. The processing and evaluation of measured data is always carried out on copies of the raw data.
The GUI (graphical user interface) facilitates day-to-day operations with your data. WISKI can transform measurement network structures of any degree of complexity into concise hierarchical structures, including integration of your specific data stock.
Measured data checks
Sophisticated graph and table tools (e.g. the outstanding graphical data editor) are available for checks on your measured data collected through groundwater monitoring, i.e. observation, processing, and correction. Your measured data can be passed through automatic or manual tests and plausibility checks as it is read into the system. The following are among the available test criteria:
limit value
distance
gradient (time or value difference)
completeness
periods (over/undershot of admissible drawdown values at certain times/periods)
calibration (daily, monthly, annual), and
own check algorithms (formula editor).
Furthermore, a seamless commenting system is also available, with information on data quality, processing status, time and type of data check tasks carried out. Status monitoring mechanisms with an alarm function are also included in WISKI.
Assessment and analysis of measured data
WISKI offers a professional, comprehensive system with a complete set of hydrological and meteorological assessment tools, which can be used to process your groundwater measured data as necessary (e.g. calculation of groundwater renewal rate, impact of surface water). Powerful calculation, analysis, visualisation, reporting and import/export functions are available for the assessment and analysis of data. Internationally standardised statistical and evaluation procedures and calculation rules (e.g. extreme value statistics, duration curves, trend analyses, long-term values) may also be integrated. WISKI is capable of carrying out comprehensive linear and multiple regression analyses across several segments and types. Your own calculation algorithms can easily be integrated by associating formulae with your data (e.g. calculation of stretched aquifer types over floor distance). WISKI also offers an internal programming interface for project specific extensions.
Presentation of measured data
Several tools are available for the presentation of your measured data.
Complex evaluations (e.g. graphs and reports) can be generated directly through the graphical interface. Graphs and reports over arbitrary time periods (e.g. monthly or annual reports) can be generated both manually or automatically. Forwarding, processing and integration of data or assessments in external formats (e.g. MS Excel, PDF, RTF, BMP, JPG, PNG) or in any type of document (e.g. Word files) is available. Drill profiles, extension plans, maps of surrounding areas, overview plans, or photographs can be linked into the user interface, and the system is equipped with a direct interface for web display (intranet and internet). Through a direct connection to your Geographical Information System (GIS), spatial assessments may be carried out as well - for example for
the creation of water table maps for water levels
floor distance
chemical and physical parameters
top ground surface
aquifer bases
water filled thickness
areal precipitation, etc.
Additional Information
WISKI is constructed in modules and includes various interfaces for later extensions. External databases may also be integrated. Direct interfaces are available for the integration of groundwater models.
