Waiora is both sensor and media neutral, so users can visualise any data stream that can be measured by sensors deployed in water, soil, or air environments. Following the deployment of field sensors, data is transmitted at user-selected intervals to Waiora where it is instantly processed and displayed as:

• 2D contour maps with integrated aerial photography (with temporal playback);
• 3D models including cut throughs across spatial planes (as shown to the left and again with temporal playback);
• Application-specific multi-variate analytical tools;
• Model calibration;
• Traditional time-series plots and histograms.

Other powerful tools allow users to add vectors, modify colours, zoom and pan, and view layered contour stacks in 3D. A convenient snapshot tool allows dynamic user-designed graphics to be exported to other programs as shapefiles and other common formats. 

As a web based solution multiple users can simultaneously log on to the same datasets to collaborate and review the user-defined result sets such as groundwater gradient maps, contaminant distribution maps, and 3D plume renderings at the same time.

The use of Waiora’s 3D visualisation of Mass Flux analysis has attracted strong interest and is currently being evaluated by the US Environmental Protection Agency under their Environmental Technology as part of the assessment of nitrate solute bioremediation systems. Waiora is being used to track and report on system performance allowing much greater control and optimisation of system configuration as well as distributed reporting to stakeholder across the country in real time.
