WATCHIT (Water Chemistry Interpretation Techniques) software summary
The document discusses the development of 'Watchit', a software created by professors at the University of Mysore to analyze over 100 water quality parameters. It is designed for researchers and scientists working with water chemistry data and can generate extensive reports and graphical outputs. The software handles substantial data and aids in interpreting monthly water sample data for various water sources.
