Water well data submitted by contractors to the State of Michigan can be imported. This data has been grouped by counties and reformatted into GaeaSynergy project databases. The number of wells in each county database varies by county. After a county database has been imported it can be worked with directly or a subset of the wells can be copied to another project.

 

A default template has been created and assigned to the well logs called "Michigan Water Well Record". This template can also be imported with the water well data.

 

To import water well data select File > Import > Government Data > Michigan Water Well Data. The Import Water Well Data form below will then be displayed. This form displays a list of counties on the left and an index map of Michigan on the right. The numbers in brackets next to the county can be used to identify the county on the index map.

 

(The appearance of the form will differ slightly depending on if it is WinLoG or WinLoG RT)

 

 

The following information can be specified on this form:
