What is it?
Monitoring wells are useful for visualizing time-series head and concentration data at a discrete location in the model domain. Observations of head or concentration can be added to the Monitoring Well plot to evaluate model performance in real-time.How to use it:
ASSIGNING A MONITORING WELL FEAURE. To add a well feature to the model domain, click on the ‘Well’ button along the left-side of the IGW-NET Modeling Environment The cursor will become a cross-hair, allowing for placement of a well with a single-click. This will open the Well Input Options menu. check the radio box next to ‘Monitoring Well’. When the model is simulated/run forward, a time-series plot for head and/or concentration will be available in the Monitoring Wells Plot chart when analyzing model results with the ‘ViewResult’ button.VIEWING THE CHART. Click on the ‘ViewResult’ button along the left-side of the IGW-NET Modeling Environment, then select ‘Display Charts’. The Monitoring well plot only shows the results of one monitoring well feature at a time. To show the results for a different feature, use the drop down menu next to ‘Select MW:’ to select a different feature, then click ‘ReDraw’ to update the plot.
The user can re-scale the x- or y-axis by defining the origin, minimum value and maximum values.
Click the 'Save This Time Series' button to export the data.
