Water well data submitted by contractors to the Ontario Ministry of Environment as prescribed by Regulation 903 can be imported. This data has been grouped by counties and reformatted intoWinLoG RT project databases. The number of wells in each county database varies by county and can be up to 50,000. 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 "Ontario Water Well Record". This template can also be imported with the water well data.

 

To import Ontario water well data select File > Import > Government Data > Ontario 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 Ontario 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)
