Environmental Data Management & Visualization

Hydro GeoAnalyst (HGA) is our comprehensive and easy-to-use environmental data management system. HGA integrates customizable database structures used around the world with state-of-the-art tools for data interpretation, statistical analysis, Geographical Information System (GIS) mapping, data charting, and visualizations in two or three dimensions.

Our new Hydro GeoAnalyst Plus (HGA+) integrates geochemistry features of AquaChem into the data management and extensibility capabilities of HGA.

Why Choose Hydro GeoAnalyst?

Hydro GeoAnalyst (HGA) Software Interface

With Hydro GeoAnalyst, environmental professionals, geoscientists and government agencies have all the tools required to effectively and efficiently manage large volumes of data, and make informed decisions about environmental and water resources.

HGA consists of an application that connects to an SQL Server database and facilitates data management, analysis and interpretation, and collaboration through various purpose-built modules.  HGA helps you work with large volumes of environmental data without requiring in-depth knowledge of SQL.  HGA+ extends these capabilities by adding modules specifically designed to work with geochemical data and a console for use R to get even more out of your data.

Improved Data Quality 

Hydro GeoAnalyst standardizes your organization and intelligently validates all data upon import, ensuring it meets quality requirements for reliable analyses and informed decision making.

  • Hydro GeoAnalyst helps you kick start your project by providing an environmental database template that consist of tables and fields for common environmental data types, common well profile templates and report templates.
  • Increase efficiency and achieve cost savings with streamlined and automated data collection, data import, analysis and reporting workflows.
  • Unlike other commercial environmental data management software packages, Hydro GeoAnalyst gives you complete control over your database, allowing you to fully customize the database structure to accommodate project needs and scale your database as data volumes grow.

Vital Information at Your Fingertips

  • The Query Builder is a powerful tool that helps you create, save and recall simple to complex data queries without having to know complicated SQL syntax. Easily define the conditions of your query by dragging and dropping database fields, and choosing the desired logical operators (AND, OR, LIKE and IS).

Gain critical insight

  • Gain greater insight into your environmental data with a suite of integrated analysis, interpretation and visualization tools including Map Manager, Cross Section Editor, Well Profile, Time Series Charts, Scene Viewer and more.
  • The analysis tools included with Hydro GeoAnalyst are developed solely by Waterloo Hydrogeologic which saves you money, guarantees interoperability, and simplifies procurement and license management.

Collaborate and Communicate Efficiently

Hydro GeoAnalyst stores all your data in a single, centralized database that can be accessed securely by multiple users across a network. Well Profiles, maps, cross-section diagrams, time-series charts and reports can be easily retrieved by team members and key decision makers.

  • Hydro GeoAnalyst streamlines field data collection with easy-to-use planning tools and support for mobile electronic data deliverables. Easily plan and schedule your field trips, and then conveniently collect your data using your Apple or Android mobile device.

What's New in Hydro GeoAnalyst 14.0 & Hydro GeoAnalyst PLUS

Cloud databases

New HGA projects can now store their project database in the cloud:

  • Collaborate anywhere: Cloud databases can be accessed by any of your team members with an internet connection and HGA installed
  • Seamless setup: Simply specify host details and provide credentials – your HGA workflows are otherwise exactly the same
  • Highly compatible: Projects can use managed database services such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, or on your own web servers

Bulk data import

Multiple data sources can now be imported at once using the same mapping:

  • General bulk data import: Simultaneously import many spreadsheets of single-table data, such as lithology data or sample data
  • EDD bulk import
  • Robust processing: Bulk import smartly rejects incompatible and incorrectly formatted data, speeding up data management workflows and simplifying QA/QC

Plotting

Plots have received numerous upgrades:

  • Linear regression lines: Linear regression lines may now be automatically calculated and plotted on Scatter and Time Series plots in the Lines tab
  • Faster symbology changes: The applied symbol group can now be changed directly from the plot settings window in the new Symbols tab
  • Labeled lines: Lines can be given arbitrary labels or take label data from calculated linear regression lines
  • Configurable legend locations: The location of the legend can now be customized

Usability and Other Enhancements (HGA)

HGA and HGA+ include the following additional enhancements:

  • Data associated with stations can now be compared and moved/copied between stations using the new Compare tool
  • Lists in the List Editor module can now be filtered (like other tables can)
  • Improved interface for assigning values to DateTime data in tables
  • HGA modules now use a more efficient architecture for storing data, reducing the likelihood of SQL object limit errors

Trend Analysis module (HGA+ only)

The new Trend Analysis module has been added, allowing you to perform statistical analyses on time series data

  • Tests and analyses supported:
    • Linear regression
    • Sen’s slope estimator
    • Spearman rank correlation
    • Mann-Kendall test
    • Seasonal Mann-Kendall test
  • Trend analyses may be exported as spreadsheets or automatically plotted in time series graphs

Usability and Other Enhancements (HGA+)

HGA+ includes the following additional enhancements:

  • Modeled and Calculated parameter results may now be exported from the Sample Report module
  • Sample analysis result metadata (such as precision, result comments, etc.) may now be exported from the Sample Report module
  • Water quality standards may now be exported
  • The Sample Analysis Viewer module is now sortable
  • Newly created parameters can now be updated from the Parameter Calculator by default
  • Durov/Piper diagram titles no longer list all parameters by default
  • Box-and-Whisker plots can now be labeled with the number of samples and non-detects in each data series
