Software

Questions like "How much water is stored in that lake?" and "What is the flow in the river?" are common in the water world. Can we pump from that aquifer for the foreseeable future?

These questions are all based on quantifiable data, which is analyzed by computers and software.

Listed below is some of the software and software web sites used by water professionals and in related environmental fields.
