Project and
Data Management |
| Hydro GeoAnalyst is the ideal groundwater
software tool for the technical management of your hydrogeological
investigations. Design the data structure, borehole log templates, and
reporting styles that YOU want. Add or remove tables and fields, design
an unlimited number of lookup tables and soil specifications, and export
modified database structures and templates for use in all your
groundwater projects. Unlike other similar database solutions, Hydro
GeoAnalyst enables you to expand the scope, size, and structure of your
database at any point in the project, a major limitation found with
other similar database solutions, and is applicable for projects with
data sets ranging from 4 to 4000 wells.
Hydro GeoAnalyst provides the following features:
- Manage all project properties, client and personnel information (project
name, client name, address, email, telephone, photo, company logo, etc.).
- Specify user-access rights for managers and project personnel
- Choose from a wide range of coordinate systems during or after project
setup (UTM, Geographic, State Planar, and many other country-specific formats)
- Connect to SQL Express or SQL Server databases over your local (LAN) or
wide area network (WAN)

Query Builder |
| The integrated Query Builder allows you
to quickly assess your data by enabling you to design and execute simple
or complex SQL Statements.
Use the results of your queries as the basis for map layers, graphs or
cross-tab queries. Quickly assess standard hydrogeological questions or
data visualization requirements such as mapping all boreholes deeper
than a specified depth, mapping pumping wells with pump rates greater at
any given value, reporting groundwater/soil concentrations, identifying
stations with chemical concentration exceedances.
The Query Builder provides the following features:
- Save any SQL Statement for use on future projects requiring similar
queries
-
Generate quick statistics from your queries (e.g. AVG, COUNT, MAX, MIN,
STDEV, STDEVP, SUM, VAR, VARP)
- SQL View/Preview panel ensures SQL Statements match user definitions
- Automatic validation of SQL statements provides warning for incorrect
syntax
- Logical use of expressions and operations make data querying easy (e.g. >,
>=, <=, <, =, < >, !=, !<, !>, LIKE, IS, IS NOT, BETWEEN, &, !)
- Edit/modify SQL Statements directly within the SQL Preview panel

Cross-Section Editor |
| Interpreting and visualizing borehole
data is a crucial step in understanding the subsurface regime. The
Cross-Section Editor is designed with easy-to-use tools for interpreting
your subsurface data. The Cross-Section Editor is seamlessly
integrated with the Map Manager so you can view and edit your
cross-section lines directly on your maps, as well as the 3D-Explorer, a
tool that enables you to display one or more cross-sections in a 3D
fence diagram view.
The Cross-Section Editor allows for three types of data interpretation:
-
Geologic Interpretations: layers representing unique geologic
formations at the site
- Hydrogeologic Interpretations: layers representing hydrogeologic
properties at the site (aquifer, confined aquifer, aquitard, aquiclude, etc)
- Model Interpretations: defined layers used in groundwater
modeling. Generating model layer point information for use in numerical
modeling packages such as Visual
MODFLOW
The Cross-Section Editor provides the following features:
- Automatic display of screened intervals, water table elevations,
lithologic data, and borehole log plots (including geophysical or
concentration profiles) on cross-sections
- Select standard or customized cross-section fill patterns from the Geology
Layer Pattern tool
- Display the locations of intersecting layers and/or cross sections
- Dynamically view the location of boreholes in the Map Preview
- Send cross-sections to the Report Editor to produced professional reports,
export interpretations as image files, or copy cross-sections directly to the
clipboard

Borehole Log Plotter |
| Select one of our pre-defined borehole
log templates or design your ideal template from scratch and generate
borehole logs quickly and efficiently for all boreholes in your
project. Automated data links mean the most current data is read
directly from the database every time to view your logs, reducing the
need for user intervention. Borehole log plots can provide real-time
data entry quality checking; view a well’s borehole log as you manually
data into the database to help your interpretations, or within the Map
Manager to help you understand the controls on the spatial distribution
of your data.
The Borehole Log Plotter provides the following features:
- Automatic display of well construction details, lithologic information,
and water level data
- Add charts to display depth-related data in the boreholes such as downhole
geophysical profiles, contaminant concentration or PID readings, grain size,
etc
- Add or remove log columns for virtually any field in the database
- Switch between log scale and normal scales when logging boreholes
- Reference water level measurements to Top of Casing or ground surface
elevations
- Import/export final borehole log templates to exchange with other HGA
users or projects
- Generate professional log reports including logos and other custom fields
- Export final borehole log reports to various formats (HTML, RTF, PDF, XLS,
TIF, TXT)
- Print multiple borehole logs as a group, or individually

Template Manager |
| The Template Manager is a built-in tool
for managing the design of your database templates. Using the Template
Manager, you can refine your database structure by adding or deleting
tables and fields, specifying table and field properties (e.g. primary
keys, data types, etc.), and setting referential integrity constraints
for your data.

GIS Map
Manager |
| The GIS Map Manager is fully integrated
with the other features within Hydro GeoAnalyst, providing you with all
the tools you need for analyzing and presenting the spatial orientation
of your hydrogeological project data. Since the Map Manager is built
into Hydro GeoAnalyst, you can develop contour maps (elevations,
concentrations, water table, etc.), thematic maps, and display tables or
time series plots by station without having to first spend time
re-entering or reformatting your data.
Contouring of project data such as water levels or contaminant
concentrations is an effective method of analyzing the spatial
distribution of data. The Map Manager contouring tool provides you with
full control over which data are used to complete the contouring,
allowing you to contour data in time, for specific geologic units, or
for selected regions of your site. Examples of contour applications
include:
- Water table elevations
- Chemical concentrations
- Layer surface elevations
- Property distributions
- Contour moisture distribution within unsaturated layers
- Aquifer vulnerability indices
- Levels of risk from a source point concentration
The GIS Map Manager enables thematic mapping for spatial display of
the distribution of a single attribute/characteristic or the
relationship between several attributes. Options include pie graphs,
bar charts, graduated polygon distributions, or the ability to assign
various symbol styles to specific point values. Thematic maps are
useful for highlighting relationships between:
- Wells with head elevations above or below ground surface (Artesian
conditions)
- Groundwater pumping volumes and precipitation (Recharge potential)
- Layer thickness from ground surface to subsequent layers
(Aggregate exploration)
- Soil types (sand versus clay) and aquifer vulnerability to
contamination
- Graduated value polygons for land use or contaminant source
inventories
- Population density versus aquifer thickness
The GIS Map Manager provides the following features:
- Effortlessly load query or station group data from any table
within your project database
- Display data in tabular or plot formats for selected stations on
the map
- Import/open a vast array of basemaps for your projects including:
DEM and GRD files, Window Bitmap (BMP, DIB), JPEG (JPG), Tiff (TIF,
TFF, TIFF), MrSID (SID), AutoCAD Files (DXF, DWG), shapefiles (SHP)
- Quickly georeference raster images for display on your maps
- Create color ramps, gradients, shading, etc
- Perform 2D or 3D interpolations using Natural Neighbor, Inverse
Distance, or Kriging methods
- Annotate maps using standard drawing tools or add text using
Windows true-type fonts
- Export Map views as Raster images or copy maps directly to the
clipboard
- Pass maps to the Report Editor to create professional reports for
any map project
