Case Study: Bay of Plenty Regional Council centralizes and secures environmental data with Aquatic Informatics' Aquarius

Bay of Plenty Regional Council centralizes data from 100+ monitoring sites with Aquatic Informatics

The Bay of Plenty Regional Council faced a significant challenge with its outdated, 30-year-old environmental data management system. The old system lacked security, offered no way to properly quality-code data, and scattered information across multiple databases, risking data corruption. Seeking a modern solution, the council chose Aquarius Time-Series from vendor Aquatic Informatics to centralize and securely manage its extensive environmental monitoring data.

By implementing Aquatic Informatics' Aquarius Time-Series, the council centralized its hydrological, meteorological, and air quality data into a single, secure platform. The solution provided a modern user interface, robust quality assurance tools compliant with national standards, and a full audit trail for data defensibility. This resulted in significant time savings, better decision-making, and easy, secure access to reliable data for both technical and non-technical staff, enhancing the council's resource management and community engagement.
