Laura Rod Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 I have a shapefile with 100 wells, some of them have 1, 2, 3, or 10 observations. The observation wells with several observations are duplicated, but the date and the head are different. I tried to upload the observation wells to my conceptual model, but the coverage attributes don't have an option to set several observations for one well when you have a compiled observation file. The user manual shows the option of importing transient data for only one well, but it is impractical if I have 100 wells. Is there any way to import one file with all the observations into my conceptual model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Czarniecki Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 Hmmm...a good question - I haven't pulled in multiple transient observations for a while, so I don't recall if it was just for a few wells (not that hard to deal with), or if GMS has improved things to pull in many locations all at once. A big part of the problem is that transient data often needs some manipulation to match what GMS needs (both a start and finish date/time for an observation). What you could try is entering a few data points for 2 or 3 locations and then seeing if you can export the data for those locations at the same time (not sure if you can or not, but I'm brainstorming here). Then see if you can pull that file back in. If that works, you would set up your larger data set in the format of the test file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attached the shapefile I used to set the obs wells and the exported shapefile from GMS; It is exporting only the location of the wells and the heads are all added in a single cell. Someone will have an all-nighter Edited July 21 by Laura Rod Forgot a comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Czarniecki Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 Get your observation points in. Then it looks like you can import the transient data: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
