For organizations

Small programs do most of the monitoring in this country and get the worst tools for it. DANalytics builds for those programs: the three-person tribal water office, the volunteer watershed coalition, the district with a sonde and a spreadsheet. The same rigor a state agency expects, at a scale a small program can run and a grant can pay for.

A public atlas for your watershed

The Carson, Truckee, and Walker atlases show what your community could have: every public measurement in one map, stories told with the data, a live dashboard, well levels, an education shelf, and a page that explains itself to a middle-schooler and a commissioner alike. Those three are free public showcases and will stay that way.

A Confluence engagement is a service, not a delivery. What it includes:

• The atlas itself, built from the public record for your basin: agency data, USGS gauges, snowpack, population, publications.
• Kept current. The record refreshes automatically; the dashboard is live every day.
• Your stories, written with you and told with the data: a fire, a mine, a restoration, a flood, a drought.
• Your data on the map. Monitoring your organization or your community collects joins the agency record, clearly marked, on your terms.
• A quarterly State of the Watershed report produced by the same engines: what changed, what’s new, where the monitoring gaps are.
• A scientist on call for the questions the map raises.
• Embeds so your own site, a partner’s site, or a classroom can carry any view.

An atlas partnership is priced the way CEDAR is, setup plus annual service, because the value is in keeping it current and answering the questions it raises, not in the day it launches. Two tiers: a Community atlas from $750 setup and $900 a year, and a Partner atlas with stories, the quarterly report, your own data on the map, and a scientist on call, from $3,500 setup and $2,400 a year. Co-branded with your organization on your domain or ours. A grant your organization holds can name DANalytics as the contractor; that is the usual route for a watershed group or a tribal program.

How the atlas stays independent

Whoever pays for an atlas, the data shows what the data shows. Partners and sponsors choose which watershed gets built and which stories get written; they do not choose what the measurements say, which sites appear, or how a trend is reported. Every number traces to the agency that measured it, every method is written on the page that uses it, and a sponsor whose own operations touch the river gets the same treatment as anyone else. That policy is short because it has to be absolute.

Request an atlas for your watershed

Tell me the river, who you are, and who else in the basin might want this to exist. That is enough to say what it would take and who could fund it.

Data systems: trustworthy, documented, shareable

If your organization collects data, the hard part is not collecting it. It is keeping it defensible, keeping it documented, and getting it somewhere it can be used.

CEDAR takes continuous sensor records from deployment to a submission-ready dataset: import, context from public data, corrections before quality control, configurable checks with a full audit trail, evaluation against the criteria that apply to your waterbody, and export in the format the Water Quality Portal accepts. Its QAPP support generates your documented procedures from the same configuration that runs the software, so the two cannot drift apart.

The module family covers discrete lab results, lakes and reservoirs, and stage and discharge as they ship; we publish which ones exist and which don’t. Modules, editions, what setup and annual service include, and pricing →

Custom tools

Sometimes nothing off the shelf fits: a field form for a protocol nobody else runs, a dashboard for a board that meets quarterly, an archive for a decade of files in a drawer. Those are built at an hourly rate, in open formats, with a complete export available the day you ask.

How we work

• Your data stays yours, in open formats, exportable on demand, including the day you leave.
• Honest about uncertainty. Every output says what the data supports and, where it matters, what it does not.
• Built on time, not funding. No investors, no runway, so pricing reflects what the work costs and nobody is pressured to overstate what ships. The longer version →
• One person answers. You talk to the person who writes the software, within two business days.

Start a conversation

Describe what you monitor, where, with what equipment, and what you do with the data now. That is enough to say honestly whether this fits, what it costs, and how long it takes, or to tell you that you don’t need software for what you’re describing.
