Do your water wells "talk" to you and each other? AQUIMETRICS™ was built to streamline and optimize well field management by completely automating well field monitoring. The turn-key AQUIMETRICS™ platform includes integrated hardware and software that is offered as a turn-key service by our professional hydrogeologists and engineers. The platform leverages the current explosion of "internet of things" (IoT) technologies to collect, store, and analyze real-time and continuous groundwater data.Sensors installed in the well are used to collect information on water level, temperature, salinity, pH, conductivity, and other groundwater quality parameters. The data are transmitted through telemetry (e.g. cellular network) to a database stored in the cloud. Our software is then used to analyze the data in various ways to evaluate trends and changes in the measured parameters and what these changes mean for operational optimization and regulatory compliance.The end result is a "Smart" Well Field™. The wells can "talk" to each other to evaluate what pumping rates are the most efficient for the current water demand. By using your existing SCADA systems or stand-alone variable frequency drives (VFDs), the AQUIMETRICS™ platform can continually be determining and selecting optimal pumping rates at wells across the well field to accurately manage the aquifer.
