Fastpath web-based application

Identifies permeable pathways in geophysical data to select sites for managed aquifer recharge.

Innovation in Managed Aquifer Recharge

The fastpath web-based application uses geophysical data, driller’s logs, and proprietary modeling to map permeable pathways in a specific area, enabling the selection of sites for surface-spreading managed aquifer recharge without drilling.

Features

  • Provides a guided analysis of data through an easy-to-use user interface

  • The only application that enables users to go from acquired geophysical data to actionable data

  • Provides a planview display of metrics including:

    • total percentage of coarse-grained material
    • length of permeable pathways from the ground surface to the water table
    • depth to first clay layer or water table, to assess the risk of ponding
  • Users can upload their own data, or utilize the existing database.

  • Results can be exported for use in standard GIS systems.

  • Users can explore uncertainty in the derived metrics.
