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. | ||
