STYX is the name of a program module for environmental information systems of the regional hydrological service and is used to record, manage, evaluate and statistically evaluate measurement data of the groundwater .
In 1993 the water management offices of Brandenburg , Saxony and Thuringia jointly developed a computer program under the MS-DOS operating system for the management and evaluation of hydrological data, especially of groundwater data.
The aim was to continue the standards for the collection and statistical analysis of groundwater data, which had been defined in Germany by the Prussian State Institute for Hydrology since the beginning of the 20th century and which were maintained in East Germany after the end of the Second World War . The binding rules in the GDR (per TGL ) were recommended by the LAWA , but not defined by DIN rules.
From around 2005, STYX was converted to the Microsoft Windows operating system and the Oracle database management system . The user interface was developed with DELPHI . The visualization has been significantly improved by implementing a GIS viewer . STYX is compatible with the geological database GeODin .
