Case Study: City of Bellingham achieves faster, more accurate water quality data management with Aquatic Informatics AQUARIUS

City of Bellingham Aquarius Urban Water Resources Data Management

The City of Bellingham, Washington, faced significant inefficiencies in managing its water quality and hydrology data. Its laboratory relied on complex, error-prone spreadsheets and separate statistical software, which was time-consuming, prone to glitches, and made data analysis difficult. To modernize its system and ensure the highest data quality standards, the city turned to vendor Aquatic Informatics and its AQUARIUS Time-Series software.

Implementing the AQUARIUS platform from Aquatic Informatics automated manual data processing, eliminated errors from cut-and-paste actions, and provided powerful tools for managing rating curves. The solution consolidated data storage and processing onto a single, reliable platform, resulting in faster turnaround times, the ability to manage larger data volumes, and the production of timely, accurate, and defensible water information for better urban water resource management and planning.
