I have a bulk of water quality data I have to comprehensively analyze and I attempted to use waterloo aquachem 2014.2 software trial version which had numerous hurdles. Considering that and the fact that I cannot afford the full version I went running to vminteq which despite being open source does not produce some relevant plots like piper, box whisker etc.
So I was hoping for an alternative to this software which is open source and does a comprehensive analysis of water quality data. The alternative should have the following (but not limited to) features:
generate piper diagrams
mapping of parameter values or trends on shape files
geochemical speciation of water samples
various statistical plots
fully open source (I can't afford any purchases)
with a proper functional gui
and should be able to run on Windows 10 operating system
fully open source
" - are you sure? Unless you intend to change the code, then the gratis tag is enough, and specifying open-source may well restrict the number of potential answers. – Mawg says reinstate Monica Oct 2 '18 at 11:42
