"The Water Quality Data Acquisition Solution" (WQDas) streamlines processes from start to finish, enabling organizations to achieve the highest (Tier 3) data quality. It consolidates all water data, including biological monitoring, geomorphological assessments, and discrete and continuous monitoring data, into a cloud-based SQL server. This data is accessible through separate dashboards tailored for project managers, field staff, quality assurance officers, and auditors.

The Project Manager module in WQDas allows for the design and creation of projects, defining objectives, study parameters, and monitoring schedules. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) can be uploaded to ensure team-wide access to project documents and responsibilities. With one click, Project Managers can generate a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) for management approval.

The Field Staff module includes the Digital Pen Entry Form (DPEF), replacing traditional paper forms and enhancing data capture efficiency both online and offline. It integrates tablet PCs and digital pens for electronic field data storage, including continuous monitor data logging. Additionally, WQDas features a digital chain of custody for tracking samples to and from labs, storing lab results alongside metadata. Data sets can be visualized on project-specific maps, facilitating real-time data sharing among team members for prompt Quality Assurance and Quality Control checks.

Furthermore, WQDas accommodates Auditors with modules for data and instrument audits, consolidating PC data, calibration records, and audit checks in a centralized repository. TechZone MD is also integrating Biological, Habitat, BIBI, and FIBI score calculation modules, with ongoing development for integrated reporting, assessments, 305(b) or 305(d) Reporting, and MS4 permits.
