Our History

Waterloo Hydrogeologic was founded in 1989 by Mr. Thomas Franz (M.Sc.) and Dr. Nilson Guiguer (Ph.D.) with the release of FLOWPATH, the first fully-integrated, graphical modeling software package in the industry. The intuitive graphical format of this package made groundwater flow and pathline modeling accessible for practically any groundwater or environmental professional in the field. The popularity of FLOWPATH and its ease-of-use were instrumental in moving the technology of groundwater flow modeling out of the computer research laboratories and into the mainstream of professional consulting.

Waterloo Hydrogeologic continues to develop new programs to meet the advancing needs and technology requirements of the groundwater industry. We now offer four main software packages; Visual MODFLOW Flex, Hydro GeoAnalyst, AquaChem, and AquiferTest.
