Hydrogeologic units (HGUs) can be defined on boreholes. HGUs are typically a simplified representation of the soil layers from the borehole field data.

HGUs are typically a simplified representation of the soil layers from the borehole field data. For example, the borehole log may include several types of sand ("brown sand", "gray silty sand", "clean sand"), but for modeling purposes, treat these all as one [[GMS:Materials|material]], "sand". GMS now shows both the original soils and the simplified HGUs on the boreholes. | ||

==Building Cross Sections, Solids== | |||
When building cross sections or solid models using boreholes, the HGU IDs are used by GMS. The soil IDs are used purely for visualization or for setting up the HGU IDs. | |||
