HydroSight is a highly flexible statistical toolbox for getting more quantitative value from groundwater level monitoring data. It allows a wide range of data-driven time-series analysis to be efficiently undertaken at 100's of bores and comes with a powerful user interface.
HydroSight contains a highly flexible groundwater hydrograph time-series modeling framework can be used for the following analysis:
- decomposition of a groundwater hydrograph into individual drivers, such as climate and pumping or climate (Shapoori et al., 2015a) and landuse change (Peterson and Western, 2014).
- estimation of aquifer hydraulic properties from the hydrograph (Shapoori et al., 2015b)
- statistical identification of the major groundwater processes (Shapoori et al., 2015a).
- interpolation or extrapolation of the observed hydrograph forward or back in time.
- simulation of groundwater head under different climate or, say, pumping scenarios.
- numerical identification of hydrograph monitoring errors and outliers (Peterson et al., 2017).
Decades of groundwater level data is available in many regions of the world. It is primarily used only for graphical analysis of, say, trends and only very occasionally is the data used for calibration of numerical models. HydroSight was developed to provide a quantitative option between these two alternatives. Additionally, it was developed to allow the identification of sub-surface processes from the data - that is, allowing us learn from the data about the hydrological cycle.
HydroSight can be used in two ways:
- Programmatically: using a collection Matlab of object-oriented classes that provides enormous flexibility to built time-series models and develop new models and components. This option requires the user to have a copy of MatLab.
- Graphical User Interface: stand alone application that provides a highly flexible framework for the efficient construction, modelling and simulation of an unlimited number of models within a simple graphical environment. This option does not require the user to have a copy of MatLab.
This wiki focuses on the various modelling approaches and the GUI. It does not focus on the programmatic use, but which is documented within the header to most classes, methods and functions.
