INTRODUCING IGW-NETLeveraging the ongoing global spatial revolution and new and exciting opportunities – from remote sensing and wireless sensor network technologies, to LiDAR, cloud communication, advanced visualization and augmented reality, and open AI - we introduce MAGNET 4 WATER (M4W) - IGW-NET, a next-generation groundwater modeling, visualization, and analysis technology . UNIQUE CAPABILITIESIGW-NET is unique in that it is cloud-powered, data-enabled, AI assisted, and realtime interactive.Realtime Modeling IGW-NET allows interactive modeling, visualization, analysis, reporting, and publication. Users can zoom in anywhere in the world to quickly build using big data a model, analysis, and visualization that can be further refined with user’s own data. The platform also allows users to publish instantly data and model results to the world, or cyber-enabled environmental observatories, to showcase their capabilities and achievements - in high impact 3D visualizations, animations, and intelligent reports. Platform as a Service The IGW-NET platform is delivered as a service system, combining IaaS (infrastructure as a service), PaaS (platform as a service), SaaS (software as a service), and DaaS (data as a service) - accessible anywhere, anytime on demand through an internet browser. Algorithms Comes to Data Unlike traditional groundwater software, the IGW-NET technology is directly built on the data networks, eliminating the bottlenecks associated with modeling with big data that are becoming increasingly immovable. These bottlenecks include computational bottlenecks, as well as human operational bottlenecks, human cognitive bottlenecks, and network communication bottlenecks. GLOBAL DATABASE SYSTEMAll modeling and design tools are live-linked to a comprehensive, systematic global database system consisting of raw, processed, and simulated data from an international network of (hundreds of) data services. This includes data services provided by Hydrosimulatics, and by a number of federal or national agencies, including: Land Data, Soil Data, Geology Data, Water /Hydrology Data, and Climate Data.MULTIPLE USER COMMUNITIESThe realtime modeling technology creates a new, instant channel for research, education, consulting, management, simultaneously benefiting multiple segments of the environmental communities and communities related to, influenced by, and serving (or served by) the environmental communities, including students, educators, researchers, professors, planners and managers, and policy/decision makers.More specifically, the platform benefits: 1) students and educators – by bringing real-world problem solving into the classroom on a routine basis;2) consulting engineers and scientists – by drastically reducing the costs of groundwater investigations; 3) managers and decision makers – by allowing them to evaluate and visualize management options live in realtime; and 4) researchers – by significantly enhancing their ability to understand complex groundwater systems across multiple scales. REALTIME DYNAMIC DATA FUSIONThe software seamlessly and dynamically merges heterogeneous and distributed geo-spatial information into a single map - joining and viewing together separate data sets that share all or part of the same space or literally “fusing” maps together. The result of this combination is a new data set that identifies complex spatial relationships that evolve over time.Computational Steering The new technology allows users’ thought processes to progress naturally and intuitively with the correct information visualized, analyzed, overlaid, and compared at the instant it is required, providing a real sense of continuous exploration. Being able to watch flow and transport processes evolve over time and visualize instantaneously the complex interrelationships among hydrological and environmental variables sparks pivotal insights, giving rise to an intuitive grasp of the hydrogeological and chemical processes that can't be readily obtained otherwise. Realtime Discovery The seamless model integration, visual interactivity, and real-time processing and communication capability makes it possible for scientists and engineers to focus on critical conceptual issues and to quickly and iteratively examine modeling approximations and hypotheses, identify dominant processes, assess data worth and model uncertainty, calibrate and validate the numerical representation, and experiment in real time with design and management options. NUMERICAL ENGINEIGW-NET utilizes Interactive Groundwater (IGW) and MODFLOW as the backend engine and is real-time interactive, meaning you can visualize and computationally steer simulated flow and plume dynamics and water budget dynamically as the simulation proceeds (the output is provided dynamically as a "movie" or animation).Support is provided for MODFLOW-6 (regular and nested unstructured grids), MODFLOW-2005, MODFLOW-USG (regular grids), and MODFLOW-NWT. On-the-fly nested and unstructured grid modeling capability allows grid refinement in areas of interest. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCEThe world is witnessing a revolution in customer service and support, fueled by a number of emerging technologies such as predictive analytics, voice and face recognition, and, most importantly, Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI enables hyper-personalization, proactive issue resolution, and interactive, convenient self-service experiences. It empowers users to independently find solutions to their questions and issues with convenience and efficiency; it provides immediate answers without waiting in line or holding for a service representative.Instant Personalized Support IGW-NET leverages AI to enhance the experience and satisfaction using (and learning with) the platform. Users can ask questions, within context, at anytime, from anywhere, 24/7, receiving a response instantly that is reliable, accurate, consistent, systematic, comprehensive, unbiased, and patient. The types of questions that can be asked include those related to: science and modeling concepts; typical parameter values; modeling methods, and processes; and software questions. Comprehensive “Knowledge Databases” The AI Assistant is trained with a wealth of existing documentation, including: documentation on groundwater hydrology and hydraulics, contaminant hydrogeology, groundwater modeling, numerical methods, and IGW-NET software manuals and tutorial libraries. |
