Aquifer Resource Management Vision

Real-time groundwater level data imaging will be used by drinking-water purveyors and industrial users to better manage groundwater aquifers as a resource both for storage and withdrawal.   By turning remotely-sensed data into 2- and 3-dimensional graphics in real time using sophisticated mathematical tools, the "black box" of subsurface conditions become better understood and therefore manageable.

Aquifer Resource Management Mission

ARM's mission is to reduce the costs of producing groundwater from wellfields and to enhance the utilization of groundwater aquifers as a water resource.

ARM produces, installs, and licenses software tools that enable efficient real-time processing of groundwater data.  ARM’s daily work is to continue to develop these proprietary tools and to license and install them to water purveyors who utilize groundwater for production.  ARM’s secondary work is to train the water purveyors and their consulting scientists and engineers on the use and interpretation of the real-time data.

ARM utilizes patented technology for the input, display, and imaging of groundwater system data using public-domain geographic information system (GIS) technology as the backbone.  This patented technology enables large amounts of information to be processed and transmitted virtually instantaneously and interpretations made in real time to improve operating efficiency of singular wells and entire wellfields.  Those improvements in efficiency and the sophistication of the data interpretation algorithms are the principal means of establishing cost savings.
