Time-series analysis

Time-series analysis with Pastas on the BRO wells in your area

Pastas, the open-source library for time-series analysis, in a guided screen. With KNMI weather data already linked.

Time-series models with Pastas on the groundwater levels in the Dutch Key Register of the Subsurface (BRO), with precipitation and evaporation from the KNMI, the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute. No coding needed.

Pastas is named descriptively. Pastas is open-source software by its own authors; Dawaco is not affiliated with the Pastas project.

Illustration: measured level, model fit and a model estimate, only as reliable as the model itself.

Basic and Expert

The same Pastas screen as in Dawaco Phrea™, in two modes: Basic, which takes you through a model in five steps, and Expert with every tab.

  • Basic

    Five steps: well, measurements, drivers, verdict and use. Basic judges the model in plain words: one verdict, our checks at a glance, and what to do when something is off.

  • Expert

    Expert opens every tab of the same model, from the model set-up to the results, the statistics and the simulation, for those who want to see every setting. One button switches between Basic and Expert.

Explain and look ahead

What drives the level, and what comes next

What drives the level. Sophea shows which part of the level comes from precipitation and evaporation, and how quickly the well responds. Precipitation and evaporation form one contribution together: the recharge.

Looking ahead. An outlook for dry, average and wet weather, and the chance that a level is exceeded or not reached. It is always a model estimate, only as reliable as the model itself.

What if. What happens to the level when a driver changes.

Scale

From one well to several at once

Model several tubes at once, and keep a model up to date on a schedule.

Your models are yours: nobody else in the workspace sees them.

§ At launch

At launch

At launch Sophea works with precipitation and evaporation. You model the influence of abstractions and surface water in Dawaco Phrea™.

FAQ

Questions about time-series analysis

Is this the same Pastas as in Python?

Yes: time-series models with Pastas, the open-source library by its own authors, on the groundwater levels in the BRO with KNMI precipitation and evaporation. You can export a model to Python: save it in the Pastas file format.

Can I add my own series or abstractions?

Not at the launch of Sophea. At launch Sophea works with precipitation and evaporation. You model the influence of abstractions and surface water in Dawaco Phrea™.

Who sees my models?

Your models are yours: nobody else in the workspace sees them.

Is the outlook a guarantee?

No. It is a model estimate, only as reliable as the model itself.
