Aquatic Informatics Named to 2013 Ready to Rocket Cleantech List

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 12, 2013) - Aquatic Informatics Inc., a global leader in providing innovative software solutions for hydrologic data management and analysis, announced today that it was selected as one of the top 15 clean technology companies in British Columbia by Rocket Builders, a market strategy and consulting firm.

"Each year when we choose the Ready to Rocket companies, we are looking for those companies that have best matched technical innovation with market opportunity. Aquatic Informatics is an excellent example of the right technology for the right customers at the right time," said Dave Thomas, Senior Partner, Rocket Builders.

"In 2012, Aquatic Informatics nearly doubled revenues as the company was laser focused on major national accounts," said Ed Quilty, President and CEO of Aquatic Informatics. "AQUARIUS software was successfully deployed at Water Survey of Canada to manage real-time data operations for its national water monitoring network of 2,400 stream gages. We then won an eight million dollar 'once-in-a-generation' contract with the US Geological Survey to optimize the management of water time series data collected from 8,000 stream gaging stations nationally. These successes have added significant momentum globally, resulting in major new contracts in North America, Latin America, South East Asia, and Australasia. Aquatic Informatics is exceptionally positioned to capitalize on the rapidly growing environmental monitoring industry as the current market leader in hydrological data management."

AQUARIUS is the preferred software for water time series data management. Its simple design delivers the latest hydrological science and techniques in an intuitive interface. AQUARIUS allows water resource managers to correct and quality control time series data, build better rating curves, and derive and publish hydrological data in real-time to meet stakeholder expectations.

The world's largest and most advanced environmental monitoring agencies trust AQUARIUS to achieve higher data integrity, defensibility, and timeliness. Customers include the US Geological Survey, the US Army Corps of Engineers, the US National Parks Service, the US Bureau of Reclamation, the California Department of Water Resources, Water Survey of Canada, BC Hydro, the Afghanistan Ministry of Energy and Water, Jamaica Water Resources, the Malaysian Department of Irrigation and Drainage, the Singapore Pipeline Services, and Southern Water, Australia.
