The Borehole Editor Advanced dialog is accessed by selecting Subsurface | Borehole/Well Advanced Editor on the Arc Hydro Groundwater Toolbar. This tool allows advanced editing of boreholes and wells in ArcGIS, and requires special tables to be used.

Borehole Editor Advanced

Borehole Editor Advanced dialog

The following sections, options, and fields are available in this dialog:

  • Boreholes section
    • At the top of this section is a spreadsheet with the following columns:
      • OID – The Object ID from the table.
      • HydroID – The HydroID assigned to the well or borehole..
      • HydroCode
      • LandElev – The elevation of the top of the borehole.
      • WellDepth – The depth of the well.
      • AquiferID – The AquiferID assigned to the well or borehole.
      • AqCode
      • HGUID – The AquiferID assigned to the well or borehole.
      • Ftype – The FType of the well or borehole.
    • Wells (Point Features) – A drop-down populated with a list of point feature classes that could represent wells.
      • Well Key Field – A drop-down populated by possible unique ID field names from the selected table. Typically, this is the HydroID field.
    • Hydrostratigraphy Table – A drop-down populated with a list of possible hydrostratigraphy tables.
      • Key Field – A drop-down populated by possible unique ID field names from the selected table. Typically, this is the WellID field.
    • Lithostratigraphy Table – A drop-down populated with a list of possible lithostratigraphy tables.
      • Key Field – A drop-down populated by possible unique ID field names from the selected table. Typically, this is the WellID field.
    • Edit contacts for – Radio button to select contacts to edit.
  • Contacts section –
    • X, Y, and Z – Lists the XYZ coordinates of the selected borehole or well. Not editable in this dialog.
    • If "Hydrostratigraphy" is selected from the Edit contacts for option, the spreadsheet has the following columns:
      • OID – Object ID from the table.
      • TopElev – The top elevation of the borehole or well.
      • BottomElev – The bottom elevation of the borehole or well.
      • Hydrostratigraphy – A brief description of what kind of hydrostratigraphy the OID is.
      • SiteID – The SiteID of the OID.
    • If "Lithostratigraphy" is selected from the Edit contacts for option, the spreadsheet has the following columns:
      • OID – Object ID from the table.
      • TopElev – The top elevation of the borehole or well.
      • BottomElev – The bottom elevation of the borehole or well.
      • Lithostratigraphy – A brief description of what kind of hydrostratigraphy the OID is.
      • SiteID – The SiteID of the OID.
    • Insert – Adds a row to the borehole log.
    • Delete – Removes the selected row from the borehole log.
  • HGU section – Shows the HGU by depth, as well as the optional unit (if selected) of the selected borehole or well. If turned on, also shows the geophysical plots.

At the bottom of the dialog are the following buttons:

  • Manage Colors – Turn this on to activate the Color Manager button.
  • Use Geophysical Plot – Turn this on to activate the Geophysical Setup button.
  • Copy to Clipboard – Copies the HGU section to the Windows clipboard as an image. This allows it to be pasted into another document, if desired.
  • OK – Saves and changes and exits the Borehole Editor dialog.
  • Cancel – Cancels any changes and exits the Borehole Editor dialog.
