Hydrobase
Hydrobase · Quantitative hydrogeology AI workspace for environmental & engineering consulting

Projects span decades. Your knowledge should too.

Bring your site's reports, lab results, water levels and GIS files into one shared AI workspace. Find answers linked to their sources, build on each other's analysis, and create figures and reports your team can review together.

How a project flows through Hydrobase.

Five steps, one workspace: from the files you already have to the deliverable your client receives, with every number traceable along the way.

Step 01 / 05Bring everything

Bring everything.

Upload the whole archive into your team's workspace: reports, lab exports, field sheets, GIS layers, elevation models, scanned logs. Heavy files are processed on the server, never on your laptop.

  • Shared across your team's workspace
  • Private to its members, by invitation and role
  • Large rasters and whole zipped folders

Step 02 / 05Ask

Ask in plain words.

Ask the project what you would ask a colleague. Hydrobase queries the tables and searches the reports, and every answer arrives with the rows and pages behind it.

  • Answers from your own data
  • Traceable: every number links back to its source row and report page
  • Reads charts, scanned pages and photos, not just text
  • Your choice of model: Claude, OpenAI or open-weights

The highest result was 48.5 µg/L at MW-06, down from 193 µg/L in 2022. Six of sixteen wells are above the 5 µg/L screening level.

Chart once. Scale across your data.

Set a figure up the way you want it and see it redraw as you choose. Then run it on every round, well and analyte. AI does the repetitive work; every choice stays yours and is written on the figure.

  • Method, non-detects, scale and wells are your call
  • Methods compared side by side, never ranked
  • AI drafts it; you decide what ships

Step 04 / 05Write & review

Write and review, together.

A document editor is built in: findings, figures and tables become a report in the same workspace as the data. Your team edits the same page, comments in the margin and asks AI to revise, and every number still traces to its row.

  • A built-in editor, like a doc that knows your data
  • Comments, roles and reviews on the page itself
  • No zip files or tracked changes by email
  • Traceable: figures stay pinned to the data they were reviewed with, and every number links to its row

Groundwater monitoring, second quarter 2024

Results

TCE remains above the 5 µg/L screening level at six of sixteen wells, with the highest result 48.5 µg/L at MW-06HG, down from 193 µg/L in 2022.

The plume has contracted toward the source area since 2022PM and the area above the level fell from 8.3 to 3.9 ha.

Step 05 / 05Deliver

Deliver the report.

The document your team wrote becomes the deliverable: styled to your firm, exported to PDF or Word, with every version kept and every figure still pinned to its data.

  • Version history on every document
  • Charts inserted and revised in place
  • Styled PDF and Word, ready for the client
  • Next quarter's report starts from this one: same figures, new data

Has the plume shrunk since 2022?

Yes: the highest result fell from 193 to 48.5 µg/L, and the area above 5 µg/L from 8.3 to 3.9 ha.

Field notes

Built to be checked.

Consulting work gets reviewed, challenged and signed. Hydrobase makes the analysis faster, more consistent and traceable, while professional judgment stays central to every technical decision.

  1. Every number has a source.

    Answers and figures link to the exact rows and files they came from.

  2. Non-detects stay non-detects.

    "<1" is shown as measured; any substitution is a stated, labeled choice.

  3. Maps admit their limits.

    Each map hatches where wells don't support it and reports how each method cross-validates.

  4. Your data is never rewritten.

    Questions run read-only against your tables; the originals stay as uploaded.

  5. Each project stands alone.

    Every task has its own data, people and budget; nothing crosses between clients.

Who it's for

Everyone whose decisions live in reports, spreadsheets and maps.

For hydrogeologists, environmental scientists and engineers: groundwater monitoring, statistical trend evaluation, geostatistical interpolation, contaminant plume characterization, aquifer testing, conceptual site models and technical reporting.

Built for teams of every size, from a two‑person consultancy to a multi‑office firm.

Projects, tasks, roles and budgets per team, so each office and each client stays organized. Each project's data lives in its own space, visible only to the people you invite, and is never used to train models.
