What is WebH₂O?

WebH₂O is a web-based, Environmental Information Management System (EIMS) that combines Information Technology, advanced web graphics and analytical technical modules. With WebH₂O: you can store, share, display and analyze your data; you can control the flow of information; you decide who can see your data and when. WebH₂O is a valuable and readily customizable system that can be used by both large and small organizations in both the private and public sectors.

Whether you are a manager or a consultant or an environmental/GIS professional working with public agencies (e.g., utilities, water districts, sanitation districts, etc...) or private entities (e.g., land owners, agricultural organizations, food processors, water suppliers, etc....), WebH₂O has solutions for your environmental data reporting, sharing, management and analysis needs.

SHIP, a WebH₂O-powered EIMS portal, launches in Sonoma

Sonoma, CA - January 2008: The WebH₂O team is pleased to announce the launch of SHIP, the Sonoma Hydrological Information Portal, powered by WebH₂O. SHIP will provide EIMS support for the Sonoma Valley groundwater basin development plan. It was developed by the WebH₂O team in collaboration with the Sonoma County Water Agency and a large group of stakeholders, including private landowners, utilities and environmental groups.

SHIP allows the project's stakeholders to manage their data and follow trends in water surface elevations through statistical and graphical analysis of data obtained from multiple sources, both private and public. SHIP stakeholders can control the flow of information within and outside of their respective organizations by easy labeling of their data and by assigning selective access to people within and outside of their organization. Whether you are an environmental manager, technician, lawyer, or regulator, you can view the latest data as they come on-line.  

SHIP will provide stakeholders with access to analytical and graphical tools, in addition to quick access to tutorials and information on water quality regulations, standards, reporting requirements, and well maintenance.

SHIP -  Map + Science Module Screens (above), allow users to interactively explore reported data in the basin and create contour maps of groundwater levels and flow direction.

Special Focus: WebH₂O offers enhanced Web Mapping Capabilities

WebH₂O provides easy interactive online access to tools for visualizing your geospatial data at the click of a mouse. Using only an Internet browser, you can produce contour maps and vector plots with the most recently loaded data and overlay them directly on your existing GIS layers or satellite photos from your office, your home, out in the field, or from the airport! There's no need to buy expensive software or pay for expensive licenses.

Interactive Field-Site Exploration tools (above) let you overlay different types of data, such as water quality contours (colors-cale) and flow direction arrows on a single map.
