The boreholes are in UTM and I dont know how to import them. Also when I import a shapefile to GW vistas, it does not come to same position as my grid. Kindly help.
First, I recommend you read the manual that came with GWV. It's in C:\GWV6\Documentation folder. Assuming you are importing wells, go under AE, Import and choose well text file or shapefile. Another way is to go under the BC menu and click on Well, then import a text or shapefile. As for your second question about wrong location after import, you have to enter the coordinates of the lower left hand corner of the model grid under Grid, Offset. It's up to you to make sure these coordinates match the coordinates from the incoming GIS files. Projection information is not stored in Vistas. Good luck.
Hello Guy Roemer, I tried your option but the response was zero wells imported. What could be the problem? Please find attached a file of the wells and a shapefile. I would appreciate you help alot.
I took a quick glance at your Excel file. You need to delete all columns that are not needed in Vistas. Only import name, x, y, water level, top of screen, etc. Some of the fields have a "/" or spaces. Save the modified Excel file as a CSV file and then import that file. Then, tell Vistas which column is x, which column is y, etc.
Thanks alot, I managed to import the wells. I will get back to you incase am stuck.
