Request a consultationScalable deployment & automation
Hydstra adapts to any systems size, from national deployments to private consultancies, without extensive database administration expertise. This software simplifies specialized workflows for flood warning, flood forecasting, dam and reservoir operations among other hydrological data uses.
The Hydstra task server module achieves scalable automation to enhance productivity. It makes efficient tasks like data import, quality assurance, reporting and data sharing.
Graphical workbench tools
Hydstra includes powerful visual tools for observation data management, rating and shift tables, and asset tracking. View and edit rating curves from discharge measurements. Also import USGS SWAMI and QRev files for further analysis. Support compliance reporting with state and federal agencies, such as the USGS and its methodology.
A comprehensive suite of tools equips users to conduct detailed statistical and hydrological analysis, create and edit rating curves, and quickly generate regulatory-compliant reports.
Advanced tools for data validation and visualization-based quality-control enable Hydstra users to easily detect, evaluate, and edit data anomalies easily. The result is quality for reliable insights and defensible decisions.
Integration & Customization
Hydstra manages both time-series and discrete data, making it ideal for a wide range of environmental and hydrological applications, including streamflow, water quality, groundwater, and meteorological data. Ensemble forecasts from NOAA, NAEFS and other global models are now available.
As streamflow patterns change, they affect water quality. Add KISTERS KiWQM water quality module to concurrently analyze lab results from grab samples. Changing precipitation patterns also require integrated water resource management. Hydstra also eases hydrogeology data management. Retrieve groundwater observations, bore construction and lithology information. Assess the impact of rainfall on surface water, groundwater and their interaction.
Sound data presumes well-maintained monitoring equipment. Track your instrumentation inventory, from warehouse to field deployment. Also manage calibration records.
As a reliable single source of truth for water data, Hydstra integrates with broader IT ecosystems via API.
Effortless data publishing
Hydstra web options enable seamless and secure data sharing. Display insights in a user-friendly medium to enhance collaboration and education.
