Hydstra offers a rich set of features to manage your data.

Click on the sub sections below to review detailed information on different features of Hydstra.

Store supporting information such as station information, rating tables, shifts, discharge measurements, cross-sections, logger configurations and data quality codes.  Data acquired through SODA, HydroTel, and other third party telemetry systems can be directly stored in Hydstra.

Hydstra supports other methods of data acquisition, such as manual file import, FTP file transfer, and the automatic import of data from publicly accessible websites.

Hydstra stores data in a proprietary file system that is optimized for compression and querying.

Contact us to find out if your telemetry system is supported.

• Catchment Modelling
• Powerful Script Language & Easy Error Navigation
  • Create complex rules using the Hydstra Basic script language (similar to Microsoft® Visual Basic).
  • Find the source of the error in your models with a single key press
  • Inputs could be actual [real time], predicted or design rainfalls.
  • The model could be automated on Hydstra Scheduler.
  • The model could detect alarms conditions and activate messages such as E-mail or SMS, giving advanced warning of impending dangers.
  • Model Outputs (forecasts) can be written directly back to the database and presented in reports like normal measured data.
• Synchronous Modelling
  • Hydstra also offer a Windows-based program for synchronous modelling, ie. calculations with time series data in which time advances by discrete steps.
  • A model is written in an algebraic-like language. Functions within the language allow data to be read from or written to Time Series files as well as providing a variety of data manipulation operations.
  • The results of calculations are displayed on the screen and may, under program control, be written to a text file. You can execute a program interactively, observing the results of each step, or run it in batch mode without user intervention.

Hydstra supports both the manual input of gauging measurements through the graphical user interface, but also the direct import of gaugings collected by devices such as the AquaCalc and FlowTracker.  Summary information from ADCP gaugings can either be manually entered, or imported automatically through the use of a custom script.

Most Hydstra applications can be run from a batch file which can be in turn run as a scheduled task using Windows Scheduler or any number of third party scheduling tools.  Hydstra can be configured as a fully automated system, or fully manual system, or anywhere in between.

Hydstra reports can be run from a batch file which can be in turn run as a scheduled task using Windows Scheduler, or any number of third party scheduling tools.  Reports can be configured to be run automatically, or on an ad hoc basis.
