Advancing Water Resources Research and Management

    System requirements

The Water on the Web site can be accessed by Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, or any other HTML-compliant web browser.  A considerable amount of effort has gone into ensuring that specific applications (applets) work across Windows, Apple, and Unix/Linux platforms, primarily through the use of the Java programming language in application development.  In reality, we have found that not all operating systems are equally compliant with Java specifications, however, resulting in uneven availability across platforms.  We anticipate that these problems will be resolved as the operating systems and languages converge on uniform standards.  In addition, some tools, such as our spreadsheet graphing routines, were developed for Microsoft Excel, and are available only to users having Excel or compatible spreadsheet software.

                Minimum system requirements:

    ·         80486 66 MHz processor
    ·         16 Mb RAM
    ·         Windows 95 or Mac 7.5 or later system
    ·         Netscape or Internet Explorer browsers versions 3.x or better

     Preferred system requirements:

    ·         Pentium 266 MHz processor or better
    ·         64 Mb RAM
    ·         Adobe Acrobat Reader loaded and linked to the browser
    ·         Shockwave plug-in
    ·         Excel 5.0/95 or more recent loaded and linked to browser
    ·         To run the Java applets:
            ·         Windows: Netscape versions 4.06 or better, or Internet Explorer browsers versions 4.x or better
            ·         Mac: Mac OS Runtime for Java (MRJ) 2.1 or greater; Microsoft Internet Explorer - current version, configured to use MRJ (Apple and Netscape are working together to develop a future version of Netscape’s browser that will use MRJ).
