Generate and submit the reports regulators require, discharge monitoring reports (DMR), state and agency filings, and published annual reports, straight from the data already in the system. Eliminates the end-of-month scramble and the transcription errors that come with re-keying into agency portals.
One system for the full permit lifecycle: online application intake, staff review and approval, issuance, renewals, and allocation limits tied to each well and owner. Replaces paper and spreadsheets with an auditable queue for staff and a clear status for permittees.
Self-service reporting where well owners and operators submit meter readings and pumpage online, with validation, reminders, and history. Staff get production totals rolled up automatically for fees, allocation tracking, and district production reports.
Track every acre-foot against rights, augmentation plans, allocations, credits, and certificates. Supports Colors of Water accounting, monthly augmentation reporting, lot and certificate ledgers, and allocation modeling so a district can prove compliance and answer 'how much is left' on demand.
Administer water rights end to end: priority and call status, decree and permit records, and diversion and exchange tracking, with the documentation that shows who can divert, how much, and when. Gives staff a defensible, current picture of standing during a call.
Account for managed aquifer recharge: track recharge volumes and sources over time, tie recharge to recovery and credits, and report against permit conditions. Gives recharge program managers a defensible, time-stamped ledger.
Manage drought stages and conservation rules in one place: declare stages, apply restrictions and curtailment, run cutback and settlement calculations, and notify affected users automatically. Keeps enforcement consistent, transparent, and documented.
Bring real-time and logger data from gauges, wells, plants, and external feeds into one view, with thresholds that fire alerts and notifications when levels, flows, or quality cross limits. Turns passive monitoring into active response.
Keep the monitoring network healthy: track maintenance and calibration history, flag sensor outages and missing data, watch battery and last-received status, and log equipment service across meters, wells, gauges, and telemetry stations.
A living registry of wells and infrastructure: construction and completion records, schematics, depth-to-water and pressure history, maintenance logs, and well-health and specific-capacity analysis. Everything about an asset lives in one record.
Capture sampling results, compare them to state standards and benchmarks, flag exceedances, and trend parameters by site, with public dashboards when transparency matters. Connects monitoring to the decisions and reports that depend on it.
Run the operational side of water-quality monitoring: plan sampling events and field visits, import lab EDDs, match results to sites and parameters, and preserve qualifiers, detection limits, and QA flags from collection through reporting.
Mobile-first field apps for site visits, sampling, meter reads, and inspections that work offline and sync back to the office, with photos and GPS attached to every record. Closes the gap between the field and the database.
Staged imports with validation, a pending-records queue, side-by-side reconciliation, and history logs, so questionable data is caught and resolved before it becomes official. Protects the integrity of everything downstream.
Maintain the controlled lists and definitions that keep everything else consistent: parameters, units, methods, benchmarks, locations, organizations, data sources, and importer mappings. The reference layer that dashboards, reports, imports, and public portals all depend on.
Route water requests, transfers, and exchanges through a structured intake-to-approval workflow with a full audit trail, replacing email threads and shared spreadsheets with a tracked queue.
Meter management tied to customer accounts, usage-based fees or billing, and a self-service portal where customers view usage and statements and submit readings. A capability area we are ready to deploy.
Map-based analysis that turns location into insight: draw buffers and service areas, search parcels and addresses, run proximity and adjacent-well analysis, and trace upstream and downstream relationships across watersheds. Supports permitting, monitoring, planning, and reporting from the same map.
Manage stage-discharge rating curves and the inputs and outputs of hydrologic and forecast models, update curves as conditions change, and export model-ready datasets. Keeps the math behind operations current and reproducible.
Turn internal data into public dashboards, interactive annual reports, and open-data downloads that meet transparency expectations and cut down on records requests. Lets a program show its work without extra staff effort.
Public education content, calculators such as rainwater-harvesting sizing, storylines, and notifications that help a district engage constituents and demonstrate value between board meetings.
Centralized document libraries, records management with linked files and photos, and the organizational and entity records that support board and governance operations. The institutional memory of the district in one place.
