PWell – Groundwater Monitoring Data Management
PWell is designed to help your data management responsibilities easy. PWell helps you manage and organize the large amounts of data from groundwater monitoring projects. It organizes your groundwater monitoring field and laboratory data in one central location for easy access and retrieval. PWell is a complete groundwater monitoring data management tool.
Data management and work orders for your groundwater monitoring projects from a central location
Data management for groundwater monitoring is made simple with PWell. You begin with setting up project information in the PWell PC Configuration tool. On the PC, you can either manually input new project and groundwater monitoring well information or import groundwater monitoring well information from an Excel spreadsheet.
Enter testing and sampling requirements for each groundwater monitoring well on your site
Once you have set up the project information, you can create Gauging and Sampling plans for individual groundwater monitoring wells within your project(s). These plans include options for testing natural attenuation parameters such as pH, Temperature, Conductivity, Redox, Turbidity and Dissolved Oxygen, as well as assigning the different sample types to be obtained for each groundwater monitoring well via work orders.
Create and download work orders to your technicians PDAs
With testing parameters for each groundwater monitoring well assigned, you can now create a work order. The work order sends only the project data and task information for assigned groundwater monitoring wells to a technician’s PDA. The work order includes all information regarding groundwater monitoring well preparation and groundwater monitoring sampling required by the current Gauging and Sampling Plan for each groundwater monitoring well.
PWell PDA software helps ensure you obtain the correct groundwater monitoring samples and perform the correct groundwater monitoring field tests for each well
PWell is designed to help you do your groundwater monitoring field work better and more efficiently. Information for each groundwater monitoring well is in the work order on your PDA. The work order tells you what you need to test and the number of groundwater samples you need to take for each groundwater monitoring well. Not only does the work order in PLog tell you what you need to do for each groundwater monitoring well, it also walks you through the groundwater monitoring well testing and sampling process for each groundwater monitoring well. The interface changes as your progress through your work order, changing when each task is complete within a groundwater monitoring well.
Your work order tells you the sampling requirements for each well. PWell tells you what samples need to be taken for (hardness, alkalinity, BTEX, PAH and more). The sampling methods you need to follow for each groundwater monitoring well based on project specifications are also in PWell. For each groundwater sample you need to take, the container type and size for the groundwater sample, number of containers, preservation methods and hold time are specified by the work order in PLog. This reduces your chances for error.
PWell calculates your purge volumes and corrected groundwater elevations
You no longer need to calculate groundwater well purge volumes and corrected groundwater elevation while testing in the field. PWell does these tasks for you, making your groundwater monitoring job simpler and reducing the potential for mistakes.
PWell is your groundwater monitoring well data management tool
You combine gauging, purging, sampling and laboratory test results in a single database
Your groundwater monitoring field data is automatically uploaded to the central database when you HotSync your PDA. The central PWell database allows you to import your lab analyses of the samples, so all of your data (field and lab) are in one central location. Since the data is imported, there are no typographical errors which often occur when typing large amounts of data as with lab results.
Additionally, you can develop a historical database by importing historical data you have stored in Excel or Word, until now.
You can develop custom reports based on laboratory test results and field data
The PWell Configuration Tool also allows you to develop groundwater monitoring reports as soon as the groundwater monitoring field data is in the database. You can develop several different groundwater monitoring reports instantly including a field report, liquid level report, analytical report, natural attenuation report, and a hydrograph.
