Unify decision-support for groundwater supply & protection

Manage groundwater resources and protect water quality by centralizing data from any sensor or source with a long-term groundwater data management platform.

Get a comprehensive understanding of your underground water resources with WISKI as hydrological data, well logs and pumping data are stored and validated.

Analyze groundwater level measurements with precipitation and surface water data — over weeks, months, seasons, years, even decades of observations.

Benefits

Analyze aquifer performance test results

Run aquifer performance tests and immediately process results with built-in rating curve tools, designed by hydrogeologists and water resource engineers.

Record quantitative parameters

Record an extensive number of parameters including measurements such as the top of casing heights, hydraulic conductivity, and transmissivity.

Review qualitative parameters

Test hypotheses with metadata on clouding/turbidity, chemical and physical descriptions, drill profiles, extension plans, and maps.

Download drill profiles

Setup dropdown lists for chrono, litho and stratigraphic classifications based on national and international standards. Or define profile fillings with symbols, color, and standards.

Enable one-click download of drill profiles as PNG, JPG, PDF, or SVH vector image files.

View data from the same well or adjacent wells

Using an online wellhead protection viewer, quickly view and compare measurements from different depths of the same well. Alternatively compare data from the same depth across a group of wells in the vicinity.

Even establish virtual monitoring wells.

Automate user-defined alarms

Continuous water level sensors and water quality probes integrated with WISKI. Set alarms on raw data values or results of water balance calculations and statistics to empower ambitious assessment and response to avoid groundwater depletion.

Facing unpredictable rainfall, gathering more data & advancing scientific understanding of the region's water resources are more important than ever. Modernizing our data system maximizes knowledge transfer and enhances the work of our staff.

Enhancements to WISKI for Groundwater

Field collection app

More accurate data begins in the field. The site visit scheduler & the mobile app FieldVisits record manual well water measurements, site notes, and GPS coordinates.

Remote sensing datasets

Raster data as a service and API integrate earth observation satellite information to complement ground-based monitoring.

GIS integration

Integrate geospatial data & tools to create water table maps or monitor contamination from factories, landfills, or mining sites.

Feed forecast models

Improve groundwater level predictions with QA/QC data inputs from WISKI; import forecasts into the system to compare predictions with historical data.
