To ensure that we can achieve our goal to offer this bigdata-enabled realtime interactive modeling platform as a service to the entire global community - anywhere and anytime, free of charge - we are limiting the current platform modeling capabilities to regional scale flow and transport simulations, analyses, and visualizations. In particular, we are restricting the simulations and analyses to two-dimensional (2D), depth-averaged simulations with a grid not exceeding 50 in each horizontal direction and the number of time steps not exceeding 30. For a transient regional scale simulation of 10 to 30 years in an area of 50 to 1000 sqkm, the spatial resolution that can be achieved is on the order of 100m to 500m and temporal resolution is 4 months to 1 year.
We are currently in the process of securing additional cloud-based computational resources that will allow the global community to conduct more detailed, advanced simulations, visualizations, and analyses on demand. This includes realtime, three-dimensional (3D) flow modeling, 3D water budget analyses, 3D particle tracking, 3D solute transport modeling, 3D reactive transport modeling, 2D and 3D hierarchical/multiscale modeling, 2D and 3D stochastic modeling (single realization and Monte Carlo simulation and realtime probabilistic analyses), and inverse modeling. These more computationally intensive, realtime, visual modeling capabilities and the cloud computational resources (CPU, memory, and storage) will be made available at a cost. To ensure that the MAGNET platform can benefit as many people as possible around the world, we plan to offer these advanced, cloud-powered modeling capabilities at lowest possible costs (similar to the costs required in securing/renting commercial cloud-based computational infrastructure/resources (e.g., CPU, memory, storage). We plan to make these advanced capabilities available in MAGNET in the immediate future.
However, users requiring immediate access to advanced modeling features may be interested in our desktop applications.

- Interactive Groundwater: standalone version (2D)
- Interactive Groundwater: standalone version (3D)
- Global Groundwater Management Tool - Michigan (also called Michigan Groundwater Management Tool - MGMT)
These software, including all versions of IGW, are linked to our massive groundwater database system containing terabytes of raw, derived, and simulated information on Michigan’s surface water and groundwater systems, as well as Digital Elevation Map (DEM) and hydrography information for the entire globe.
