Web-based application

The fastpath web-based application allows you to evaluate an area, using geophysical data, for surface-spreading managed aquifer recharge (MAR).

Online course

Our online course goes through the background material to understand the various steps in the web-based application that takes you from geophysical data to recharge site evaluation.

We created a web-based software, making available the workflows developed over years of research, with the help of engineers at Curvenote. This application allows anyone to access a database of the publicly available EM data and well data, and run through our workflows using cloud computing, to produce downloadable decision-support products. We collaborated with many partners throughout the state, representing local water management agencies, nonprofits, consultants, and state agencies, with the goal of understanding the diverse needs of the potential end-users of the software, and catering the development of the software to meet these needs.
