Find water services software vendors with programs you can use

Software programs come in all shapes and sizes and there is a price tag that goes with that. Check the features of the software you are considering and purchase what your institution needs.

I recommend: Schlumberger provides many different software programs including data management of aquifer systems, borehole geology for well digging, remediation for contaminated sites and statistics for groundwater. WRCS provides featured programs such as pumpbase, Aquadyn and hydronet four. Choose the software your company needs.

Choose water services applications that integrates with the system already in place

If your present software is working for you, consider upgrading it to add a few features that you need instead of replacing the entire system. There may be a small charge to upgrade but this would be minimal compared to replacing the entire system. Find out if the new necessary features are available with your present software. Alternatively, choose a software program that adds these features but integrates with the program in place.

I recommend: USDA offers many programs including how to calculate snow run off and melt down, rainfall runoff and management tools. These programs integrate with your present system. Performance Software Technologies provides software to water delivery and disposal service companies. This software integrates with your present system.

Select wastewater analysis software that have live customer support

The best software in the world is no good to you if you can not reach someone to answer questions when that need arises. Software has an online guide but sometimes that is not enough when you run into a difficulty. Choose software systems with live customer support features to get the most out of program.

I recommend: Land and Water Development Division offers software for water services including how to sustain water when fresh supplies are scarce. Contact them by email with questions. Service CEO offers a software program for water treatment service. This software includes managing the dispatch board, scheduling and edits jobs in progress. They offer a free demonstration and customer service phone number.
