Project Aqua

Project Aqua was a proposed 60km Hydro Electricity Generation Scheme. In 2003 ARL was asked to demonstrate its capability to provide visualisation of comprehensive layers of GIS data in 3D and real time. The resulting interactive 3D data visualization Tool displayed information that ranged from locations of sites of historical interest to soil types, crops, weather data, sound contours, dust levels, borrow and fill areas, cadastral survey data, property boundaries, water levels and many more. For the same project ARL was also engaged to provide an animation of the predicted effects on the residual river under the River Management Strategy that was proposed as part of the mitigation activities versus the natural changes of the river over time.
