Case Study: Northern California Power Agency streamlines regulatory reporting with Aquatic Informatics AQUARIUS

Northern California Power Improved USGS Compliance

The Northern California Power Agency (NCPA) needed to efficiently meet stringent FERC and USGS regulatory reporting requirements for its hydroelectric operations. Their previous outdated software had poor visualization tools and required a manual, time-consuming process for building essential rating curves, hindering their compliance efforts. To solve this, they selected the AQUARIUS Time-Series solution from vendor Aquatic Informatics.

Aquatic Informatics implemented AQUARIUS as the central water data repository, enabling the NCPA to manage and compute all data in accordance with USGS standards. The solution allowed the agency to build more accurate rating curves in significantly less time and streamlined their entire regulatory monitoring and reporting process. This provided them with defensible records to prove compliance and greatly improved operational efficiency.
