Arc Hydro Groundwater Toolkit
ESRI and Aquaveo are pleased to bring you the Arc Hydro Groundwater Toolkit to help you better manage your groundwater data within ArcGIS. Based on the Arc Hydro Groundwater data model, the tools will enable you to take advantage of the ArcGIS platform to archive, manage, and visualize your groundwater information.
It is anticipated that the Arc Hydro Groundwater Toolkit will be available in the summer of 2008. Three sets of tools are being developed as part of the toolkit:
1. Basic Toolkit – Tools in the basic toolkit will help you import data into your Arc Hydro geodatabase, manage key attributes, and visualize your data. With the Basic toolkit you will be able to import a variety of datasets (wells, time series, cross sections, volumes) into your geodatabase, manage symbology of layers in ArcMap and ArcScene, map and plot time series, and create common products such as water level, water quality, and flow direction maps. The Basic Toolkit will be available free to all licensed ArcGIS users.

2. Subsurface Analyst – With Subsurface Analyst you will be able to create and visualize 3D hydrogeologic models, starting with classification and visualization of borehole logs, creation and editing of cross sections, and generation of 3D volumes. The Suburface Analyst will be available at an introductory cost of $1500 US.

3. Modflow Analyst – The Modflow Analyst enables you to create, archive, and visualize modflow models within ArcGIS. The tools are based on the MODFLOW Data Model geodatabase, which supports the storage of a complete modflow model (including grid structure, inputs, and results) within an ArcGIS geodatabase. Tools in the toolkit enable you to import an existing model into the geodatabase and geo-reference the model so you can visualize and analyze the results in context with other GIS data, as well as create new models from GIS features. The MODLFOW Analyst will be available at an introductory cost of $1500 US.

More information will be available as we move closer to the release date.
