any suggestion on step-wise procedure on 3D- aquifer mapping. i have drilling data of seven locations but i am unable to plot a 3D map.
If you send your raw datas as excell file I will try to change it to the 3D aquifer model. Firstly you must understand raw data input to the excell and try to call on RW. and create your model by using software.
Quite simple. Here's the procedure:
1. Use the Rockworks input data template to arrange your drill log data. The input template is an excel sheet. There, you will have 4 sheets within your excel file: 1) location, 2) Lithology, 3)stratigraphy (if you have stratigraphy data, otherwise you can use the same data as the lithology), and 4) lithotype sheets. Then, fill these sheets based on how your drill log data looks (You can use YouTube videos, which are available for this section). Then, start your software. make sure that you are on borehole manager menu. File...import...excel...multiple table.....then follow the procedures. Then, you can go either to lithology/model or stratigraphy/model to create your 3D models based on your data type.
However, my question here is about your data. I don't think that you will characterize an aquifer accurately using drill logs just from 7 boreholes. What's the areal extent of you aquifer? what's your data type? what's your objective? If your plan is to characterize an aquifer (nature, type and number), then you better add some more data based on your aquifer extent. But, the procedure is quite simple as mentioned above. Let me know if you need any support.
