  • Methods and systems for managing aquifer operation
    Patent number: 8244499
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing aquifer operation are included. An exemplary method includes receiving at an analysis computing device, one or more water measurements from a plurality of sites in an aquifer, wherein water measurements are received at a plurality of time points. A site may include one or more groundwater extraction wells. The method may further include calculating well operational data for at least one groundwater extraction well based on the water measurements, wherein the well operational data includes a well efficiency over a time period. Further, the method may include receiving an aquifer objective input via a graphical user interface presented on the analysis computing device. The method may further include generating a pump operation signal based on the well operational data and the aquifer objective input.

  • Measuring system for measuring real time groundwater data
    Patent number: 5553492
    Abstract: A measuring system for measuring real time groundwater data and graphically depicting the data for analysis and interpretation is disclosed. At least one transducer is positioned in a well to be modeled. A control unit is provided to acquire data from the transducer and to store the data acquired. A home base unit is provided to receive data from the control unit. The home base unit contains a geographic information system program for processing the data. A display unit is connected to the home base unit for displaying the data received.
