Wells

When AHGW Geophysical Plot at Wells Icon.png Create Geophysical Plot Wizard for Wells is clicked, the wizard contains the following steps:

  • Step 1: Geophysical Plot Setup
  • Step 2: Scale
  • Step 2a: Data Types
  • Step 3: Output Feature Classes
  • Step 4: Lithostratigraphy Hydrostratigraphy Display

Note: A well layer that follows the Arc Hydro Groundwater Schema must exist on the map prior to using this tool. A warning to this effect will appear if such a layer does not exist.
