U.S. Installs Nationwide Water Monitoring System

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) will centralize operations of real-time safety monitoring from 7,400 stream gauging stations, helping to resolve complex natural resource problems across the U.S. and around the world.

The new system by Aquatic Informatics will optimize efficiency in the storage, processing and publishing of this critical data.

The company began working with the USGS in 2005 with an earlier version of its Aquarius software. “The USGS will now be expanding its use of Aquarius, making it the primary platform for hydrological data storage, processing and publishing by 3000 staff,” said Ed Quilty, president and CEO of Aquatic Informatics.

Replacing their multiple platforms with one system will allow the USGS to further sharpen consistency and data comparability while reducing training and IT system operational costs.
