AHGW:Set Up

Arc Hydro Groundwater (AHGW) can be set up using the following steps:

1. Make note of which version of ArcGIS you have installed.
2. Download the version of AHGW that matches the version of ArcGIS you have installed (you may need to click on the "View all Available AHGW Downloads" link to find the right version).
3. Run the EXE file to install AHGW.
4. Open ArcMap or ArcScene.
5. In the ArcToolbox, there should be an "Arc Hydro Groundwater Tools" toolbox. If it isn't there, right-click on "ArcToolbox", select Add Toolbox..., and browse to the location of the "Arc Hydro Groundwater Tools" toolbox (from step 3) to add it.

The following steps will add the AHGW geoprocessing tools to the search index in ArcGIS 10.

1. While in ArcGIS, open up the Search window (Ctrl + F, or access from the Windows menu).
2. Click on the Index / Search Options button at the top of the Search window.
3. On the Index tab, click on the Add... button.
4. Browse to Toolboxes > System Toolboxes.
