-------
Background
¦	The Well Activities Tracking, Evaluation
and Reporting System (WATERS) is a
stand-alone software package developed
specifically for the UIC program.
WATERS is the product of an EPA
workgroup consisting of participants from
EPA Headquarters, Regions and States.
WATERS satisfies all Federal reporting
requirements for Class II wells.
¦	WA TERS is consistent with the UIC
Minimum Data Set and Definitions issued
in 1990 UIC program guidance.
WATERS is being developed in well class-
specific components. The component
designed for use by Class II programs is
now available for use.
¦	WATERS includes six modules: permits,
inventory, mechanical integrity testing,
inspections, operations and compliance and
enforcement.
¦	WATERS users have access to a detailed
user's guide and technical assistance for
converting their current systems and begin-
ning operations with WATERS.

-------
Functions
¦	WATERS enables users to track permits,
manage well inventories, track inspection
schedules, track relationships between
enforcement and compliance activities, and
to link all activities back to specific wells.
¦	WATERS produces facsimiles of EPA 7520
forms for Class II wells.
¦	WATERS offers an array of reports de-
signed to facilitate program management
and evalution.
¦	WATERS' user interface enables users to
easily modify and add well information to
the data base.
B WATERS generates well schematics based
on standard well construction information
and on well-specific data.

User Interface
M WATERS' user interface is based on a
paper file concept. Each module comprises
a folder; each folder contains several pages
concerning one or more wells.
¦	WATERS1 user interface consists of pull-
down menus, on-line help, pop-up win-
dows, edit and value checks, hot keys, and
other easy-to-use keyboard sequences.
¦	WATERS uses animation to help users to
understand the system's functions.
H WATERS includes a "power user'7
feature that allows users to customize
features such as animation and edit
verification.
Planned Enhancements
¦	Novell-LAN compatible version
¦	Support for other well classes
¦	Cross-data base searching
¦	User-driven data base customization
¦	Improved well schematic
¦	Additional standard reports
¦	Expanded ad-hoc reporting

-------
Reports
WATERS users can select all wells or a
subset of wells by specifying search criteria,
and can then produce any system report
containing the selected wells.
WATERS' reporting function enables
users to generate standard and ad-hoc
reports in support of key program func-
tions.
