SERDP: Source Depletion Decision Support System

serdp_main_screen_med1The Source Depletion Decision Support System, developed by GSI Environmental Inc., with funding provided by the Department of Defense Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP), is a software tool designed to aid the decision-making process for remediation of dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) source zones.

This Decision Support System consists of four modules:

  1. a performance database for source depletion (i.e., treated) projects;
  2. a performance database for untreated (i.e., natural attenuation) sites;
  3. a cost database for source depletion projects; and
  4. a literature summary of other source depletion projects.

Features

User-friendly interface: Graphical interface features easy to use charting tools for selecting specific parameters and viewing the results.

Data Filtering: Once your specific data set has been charted, you can look "behind the scenes" at the data and copy/paste,add formula or create your own charts. It's up to you.

Review Research : One module contains links to current SERDP research projects in PDF form. Topics are grouped according to SERDP project number (e.g. CU-1293)
