Groundwater Software AquaChem AquaChem is the most complete system for water quality data analysis, plotting, and groundwater data reporting.
AquaChem is a groundwater software package specifically tailored for anyone working with water data. This software is ideally suited for water projects requiring management, analysis, and reporting of groundwater water quality data.
$1395.00 USD
The leading software package designed for managing, analyzing and plotting water quality data is now enhanced with a multitude of upgraded features including integrated tools and enhanced functionality to save you time when working with vast amounts of water data.
Management Software for Water Quality and Groundwater Sampling Data
Featuring a fully customizable database of physical and chemical parameters and a comprehensive selection of analysis, calculation, modeling, and graphing tools, AquaChem is a truly unique groundwater software package.
AquaChem’s analysis tools cover a wide range of functions and calculations used for analyzing, interpreting and comparing water quality data. These tools include simple unit transformations, charge balances, statistics and sample mixing to more complex functions such as correlation matrices and geothermometer calculations.
These powerful analytical capabilities are complemented by a comprehensive selection of commonly used plotting techniques to represent the chemical characteristics of aqueous geochemical and water quality data.
The Mann-Kendall test is a trend estimator that can be used to prove if contaminant concentrations are significantly diminishing or rising over time. The version of the Mann-Kendall Test used in AquaChem can be applied for virtually any groundwater parameter, and is a critical tool for long-term monitoring optimization and reporting.
AquaChem Product Details Summary
Data Management
Built around a customizable MS Access database that can be configured to include more than 1000 alphanumeric parameters per sample.
Parameters are divided into the following parameter groups: station description parameters, sample description parameters, measured parameters, and modeled parameters.
Each parameter group contains predefined parameters which can be used to create a customized data structure for your sampling and reporting requirements.
Data may be imported and exported in various formats including MS Access, MS Excel and .TXT files.
Data Analysis
AquaChem uses the common measured values (cations and anions) for each sample to calculate additional geochemical values including water type, sum of Anions, sum of Cations, Ion Balance, TDS, hardness, Alkalinity, Common Ion Ratios, Sodium Adsorption Ratio, Magnesium Hazard, Ozygen saturation and Scaling Indexes such as Langlelier Index, Ryznar Stability Index, Puckorius Scaling Index and Larson-Skoid Index.
Data Analysis features include: Compare Samples, Correlation Matrix, Water Quality samples, Mix Samples, Data Reliability check, Rock Source Deduction.
Statistical Calculations
AquaChem includes a comprehensive list of statistical features, optimized to work with your water quality data set. Statistical features included with this software are: Trend analysis (Mann Kendall, Sen's Test), Outlier Tests (Extreme value, Discordance, Rosner, Walsh test), Test For Normality (Studentized range test, Geary's, Shapiro, D'Agostino test.
Water Quality Modeling
AquaChem provides a link to one of the popular public domain geochemical modeling programs, PHREEQC available from the USGS.
PHREEQC generated values (saturation indicies, activities) can be read back to the database and used for reporting, plotting or statistics.
Plotting, Mapping & Reporting
One of AquaChem's most powerful features is its ability to efficiently manage, create, and graphically display a wide range of water quality data.
Includes a comprehensive selection of more than 23 industry-standard plots including: Piper, Schoeller, Scatter, Box & Wisker, time series, histogram, Stiff, Radial and Pie chart.
AquaChem offers a unique way to interact with graphics and allows for quick identification of points on plots.
Define a time series for any other defined legend item, such as an aquifer
Edit triangle endpoints in Piper, Durov and Ternary plots
Enhanced functionality in Box & Whisker and Time Series plots including the ability to create horizontal lines for convenient comparison to water quality standards
Automatically generate symbols for all alphanumeric fields
Load multiple plot configurations into existing plots
Place plots on multiple pages on demand
Layout and plot arrangement can now be saved to a template for future use
New probability plot determines irregularities within the data when plotting quantiles of a data against the quantiles of the normal distribution
Reports
Reliability check now contains units for each formula
Copy or print trend results
Enhanced Mann Kendall trend analysis, and summary statistics
Database
AquaChem can now be linked to a Hydro GeoAnalyst, Hydro GeoBase or Hydro GeoLogger database (v.4.0 Environmental Schema). AquaChem still uses the MS Access database format, but replaces the core tables (station, sample and analysis) with tables linked in the HGA/HGB/HGL database.
Supports a comma as a decimal separator
Import data from MS Access® tables or views
Export water quality standards for quick referencing
Easily define, import or export parameter information from text files
Conveniently search for stations and samples that are located at a specified distance
Quickly open text fields that include file names or URLs
Enhanced customization for sample detail screen, including ability to select data to be displayed with water standards, or show/hide any meta data field in the measured values tab
Create meta data fields for measured fields, including filtered or unfiltered constituents, as well as practical quantification limits
Now choose between long and short water facies names and short facies names. The short name allows for Na-Cl, Ca-HCO3 etc. and can be used for creating a water facies legend and subsequent plotting
Automatically create lookup lists for text fields
Calculators
Built-in tools such as the Langelier index, Ryznar Stability index, Pukorius, and Larson-Skold for predicting corrosive or scaling tendencies
Calculate oxygen solubility as a function of elevation and temperature
Convert mg/l into mmol/l, activity, and ppm with upgraded formula weight calculator
Additional parameters have been mapped between AquaChem and PHREEQC
PHREEQC thermodynamic database is added to the PHREEQC screen for lookup purpose
Support for PHREEQC v.2.0.12 including the Pitzer equations for calculations in high saline solutions
PHREEQC simulated data for master species can be read back to the database
New modeling feature: "Equilibrate with minerals" which allows the evaporation of a solution while staying in equilibrium with one or several minerals. The output includes the chemistry of the remaining sample as well as the amount of minerals that was precipitated or dissolved.
Statistics
Mann-Kendall statistics are now included in the summary statistics and may be calculated for multiple parameters at once
Includes robust Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient: a non-parametric measure of the strength of the association between two variables
Most statistical values and water standards can now be included in header or footer of reports in spreadsheet formats
Create bivariate scatter diagrams in the Interactive Correlation matrix for evaluating correlation results that might be influenced by outliers
Non-analysed and Non-detect values can now be shown as N.A or N.D or any other user specified code in the spreadsheet view
