2 1 Introduction Outline Part 1 - Without ESRI ArcObjects Getting Started Reading the Shapefile Viewing the Shapefile Viewing the Attribute Table Converting the Shapefile to 2D Scatter Points Creating the Conceptual Model Mapping the GIS Data Part 1 Conclusion Part 2 - With ESRI ArcObjects Enabling ArcObjects Reading the Data Viewing the Shapefile Converting the Shapefile to Feature Objects Creating the Conceptual Model Mapping the GIS Data Conclusion Introduction The GIS module can be used to display data from a GIS database directly in GMS without having to convert that data to GMS data types. Native GMS data such as grids and boreholes can be displayed along with the GIS data. The GIS module can also be used to select a portion of the GIS data and convert it to GMS data types to be used in constructing a groundwater model. Currently, the GIS module can only be used for steady-state data. If users have a license of ArcObjects installed on their computers, many features available in ESRI software (such as ArcMap ) become available in GMS. If the user does not have a license of ArcObjects installed, he or she can still use the GIS module, but many features will not be available. Users can still import and display shapefiles and convert them to GMS feature objects. For a full list of the features available in the different modes, refer to GMS Help. This tutorial will introduce the GIS module. This tutorial has two parts. The first part shows the features available if the user doesn t have a license of ArcObjects installed on his or her computer. The second part shows the features available if the user does. Hence, users will not be able to complete the second part if they do not have a license of ArcObjects installed on their computers. 1.1 Outline Here are the steps of this tutorial: 1. Open a shapefile. 2. View the attribute table. Page 2 of 12 Aquaveo 2015
3 3. Convert the shapefile to scatter points. 4. Enable ArcObjects and read in some layers and shapefiles. 5. Convert the shapefile to feature objects. 2 Part 1 Without ESRI ArcObjects First, it is necessary to import a point shapefile containing well data. Then it will be possible to create scatter points from the shapefile points. Next, it will be possible to create a GMS MODFLOW conceptual model in the Map module and create a coverage with well attributes. Then the user will convert the shapefile to GMS wells that could be used to help build a model. This will illustrate how GIS data can be imported and converted to GMS data. 3 Getting Started 1. Launch GMS if necessary. 2. If GMS is already open, select the File New command to ensure that the program settings are restored to the default state. 4 Reading the Shapefile The first step is to read the shapefile. 1. Select the Open button. 2. Locate and open the directory entitled Tutorials\GIS\gis. 3. In the Open dialog, change the Files of type to Shapefiles (*.shp). 4. Select the file entitled arcmap.shp. 5. Select the Open button. 5 Viewing the Shapefile The user should now see a number of points displayed on the screen. These are the wells in the shapefile. 1. Select the GIS Layers folder in the Project Explorer. 2. In the Project Explorer, expand the GIS Layers folder if necessary. Page 3 of 12 Aquaveo 2015
4 Notice the arcmap.shp just opened. object in the Project Explorer. This is the shapefile that was Without ESRI ArcObjects, users have only a limited set of options for displaying the shapefile. 3. Select the Display Options button. 4. In the Display Options dialog, click on the button displaying the point symbol style (not on the arrow). 5. In the Point Properties dialog, change the point radius to 10 and the color to red. 6. Click OK to exit the Point Properties dialog. 7. Click OK to exit the Display Options dialog. Notice that the point scale and color have changed. 6 Viewing the Attribute Table The shapefile that was opened has a number of attributes associated with each point. 1. In the Project Explorer, right-click on the arcmap.shp object. 2. Select the Attribute Table command from the pop-up menu. 3. Resize the Attributes dialog by dragging the bottom right corner out so that more of the data is visible. A number of attributes (columns) are associated with each point. Notice the data is not editable. 4. Click OK to exit the dialog. 7 Converting the Shapefile to 2D Scatter Points Now it will be possible to convert the GIS data to 2D scatter points that can be used to perform interpolations. 1. In the Project Explorer, right-click on the arcmap.shp object. 2. Select the Convert to 2D Scatter Points command from the pop-up menu. Some new symbols should appear on the screen. These are the new 2D scatter points. Page 4 of 12 Aquaveo 2015
5 3. If necessary, expand the 2D Scatter Data folder. Notice the arcmap.shp 2D scatter point set that was just created. 4. Expand the arcmap.shp dataset. Notice that GMS automatically created a dataset from each numeric attribute in the attribute table. This procedure can be used to create scatter points and then interpolate from the scatter points to a grid. If the user had water level information for each point, for example, he or she could create a starting head dataset for the model. This tutorial won t do anything more with the scatter points, so it s time to delete them. 5. In the Project Explorer, right-click on the 2D Scatter Data folder and select Delete from the pop-up menu. Now it is possible to convert the GIS data to GMS feature objects that could be used to build a conceptual model. The first step is to create a default conceptual model and coverage with the appropriate attributes. 7.1 Creating the Conceptual Model 1. In the Project Explorer, right-click on the empty space. 2. Then, from the pop-up menu, select the New Conceptual Model command. 3. In the Conceptual Model Properties dialog, change the Name to Model1. 4. Make sure the Type is set to MODFLOW, and click OK. 5. In the Project Explorer, right-click on the Model1 conceptual model. 6. Select the New Coverage command from the pop-up menu. 7. In the Coverage Setup dialog, rename the new coverage coverage1. 8. Select the Wells option in the list of Sources/Sinks/BCs. 9. Click OK. 7.2 Mapping the GIS Data 1. Select the GIS Layers folder in the Project Explorer. 2. Select the GIS Shapes Feature Objects command. 3. Click Yes to confirm the use of all visible shapes. At this point, the GIS to Feature Objects Wizard appears. Page 5 of 12 Aquaveo 2015
6 4. Click Next. 5. In the WELLNAME column, change the mapping drop-down selection to Name. 6. In the PUMPRATE column, change the mapping drop-down selection to Flow rate. 7. Click Next. 8. Click Finish. Once GMS processes this command, feature points will now exist in the same location as the GIS points. But since they re in the same locations, the user probably won t notice any difference in the display. 9. Uncheck the arcmap.shp object in the Project Explorer. 10. In the Project Explorer, right-click on coverage Select the Attribute Table command from the pop-up menu. This Attributes dialog shows the properties of all the feature points in the coverage. Notice that the names and flow rates were transferred from the GIS attributes, just as specified. However, the type for all points is labelled as NONE. It is necessary to make them into wells. 12. In the Attributes dialog, find the spreadsheet cell corresponding to the All row and the Type column. Change the type to Well. Since this is the All row, all of the points are changed to wells. 13. Click OK. 7.3 Part 1 Conclusion At this point, the user has well points that could be used to further construct a MODFLOW conceptual model. This topic is discussed more thoroughly in the tutorial entitled MODFLOW Conceptual Model Approach and will not be discussed further here. 8 Part 2 With ESRI ArcObjects If users have a license of ArcObjects installed on their computers or on your network, they can proceed through part 2 of this tutorial. If users have ESRI software like ArcGIS installed, then users should have a license of ArcObjects available. In case the user doesn t know if he or she has a license of ArcObjects, the tutorial will show the user how to tell. Page 6 of 12 Aquaveo 2015
7 Many more features in the GIS module are available if the user has a license of ArcObjects. This part of the tutorial introduces those features. 9 Enabling ArcObjects First, it is necessary to delete everything that has been done so far and enable ArcObjects. 1. Select the New button. 2. Select No at the prompt to save changes. 3. Switch to the GIS module. 4. Select the GIS Enable ArcObjects menu command. If a check mark appears next to the menu command, then the user has a license for ArcObjects installed, so he or she can continue with the tutorial. 10 Reading the Data The first step is to read in the required data 1. Select the GIS Add Data command. 2. Locate and open the directory entitled Tutorials\GIS\gis. 3. Select the files entitled streams.shp, Ndavis.tif, Sdavis.tif, recharge.shp, and area_interest.shp. 4. Select the Add button. 11 Viewing the Shapefile The display order of the different layers is controlled by the order of the items in the Project Explorer. Now it is possible to arrange the data so that it can be viewed easily. 1. In the Project Explorer, expand the GIS Layers folder if necessary. 2. In the Project Explorer, right-click on the area_interest shapefile and select the Zoom To Layer command. 3. In the Project Explorer, arrange the items in the order shown in the figure below (Figure 1) to adjust the display order in the Graphics Window. Page 7 of 12 Aquaveo 2015
8 Figure 1 GIS display order With ESRI ArcObjects, an expanded set of options is available for display. First, it is necessary to change the display of the stream layer. 4. In the Project Explorer, right-click on the streams shapefile and select the Properties command. 5. Select the Symbology tab. 6. In the ArcView Display Symbology dialog, select the button in the Symbol section. 7. Select the River type from the Symbol selector. 8. Select OK to exit the ArcView Display Symbology dialog. 9. Select OK to exit the Properties dialog. To better see the background images, the user will now increase the transparency of the recharge layer and turn off the fill color for the interest layer area. 10. In the Project Explorer, right-click on the recharge shapefile and select the Set Layer Transparency command. 11. Change the transparency to 50 %. 12. Click OK. 13. In the Project Explorer, right-click on the area_interset shapefile. 14. Select the Properties command. 15. Select the Symbology tab. 16. In In the ArcView Display Symbology dialog, select the button in the Symbol section. Page 8 of 12 Aquaveo 2015
9 17. Select the Hollow type and change the Outline Color to red. 18. Select OK twice to exit the ArcView Display Symbology dialog. 19. Select OK to exit the Properties dialog. 12 Converting the Shapefile to Feature Objects Now it is possible to convert the GIS data to GMS feature objects that could be used to build a conceptual model. First, it is necessary to create a default conceptual model and coverages with the appropriate attributes Creating the Conceptual Model 1. In the Project Explorer, right-click on the empty space. 2. Then, from the pop-up menu, select the New Conceptual Model command. 3. Change the Name to Model1. 4. Make sure the Type is set to MODFLOW. 5. Click OK. 6. In the Project Explorer, right-click on the Model1 conceptual model. 7. Select the New Coverage command from the pop-up menu. 8. In the Coverage Setup dialog, rename the new coverage to Rivers. 9. Select the River option in the list of Sources/Sinks/BCs. 10. Click OK. 11. In the Project Explorer, right-click on the Model1 conceptual model. 12. Select the New Coverage command from the pop-up menu again. 13. In the Coverage Setup dialog, rename the new coverage to Recharge. 14. Select the Recharge rate option in the list of Areal Properties. 15. Click OK. Page 9 of 12 Aquaveo 2015
10 12.2 Mapping the GIS Data Now it is necessary to map the streams shapefile to the Rivers coverage. The user will only map objects that are within the area of interest by selecting items to map by their location. 1. In the Project Explorer, select the Rivers coverage to make it the active coverage. 2. Select the GIS Layers folder in the Project Explorer 3. Select the GIS Selection Select by Location menu command. 4. In the Select by Location dialog, make sure the dialog matches the following figure (Figure 2) and select Apply. Figure 2 Selecting stream features by location 5. Click Close. 6. Select the GIS ArcObjects Feature Objects command. At this point, the GIS to Feature Objects Wizard appears. 7. Click Next. 8. In the TYPE column, change the mapping in the drop-down menu to Type. 9. In the NAME column, change the mapping in the drop-down menu to Name. 10. Click Next. Page 10 of 12 Aquaveo 2015
11 11. Click Finish. Feature arcs now exist that represent the rivers in the same location as the GIS arcs. Now it is necessary to map the recharge shapefile to the Recharge coverage. 12. In the Project Explorer, select the Recharge coverage to make it the active coverage. 13. Select the GIS Layers folder in the Project Explorer 14. Select the GIS Selection Select by Location command. 15. In the Select by Location dialog, make sure the dialog matches the following figure (Figure 3) and select Apply. Figure 3 Selecting recharge features by location 16. Click Close. 17. Select the GIS ArcObjects Feature Objects command. At this point, the GIS to Feature Objects Wizard appears. 18. Click Next. 19. In the RECH_RATE column, change the mapping in the drop-down menu to Recharge rate. 20. Click Next. 21. Click Finish. Page 11 of 12 Aquaveo 2015
12 Feature polygons now exist in the same location as the GIS polygons. 22. Uncheck the GIS Layers folder in the Project Explorer. 23. In the Project Explorer, right-click on Recharge. 24. Select the Attribute Table command from the pop-up menu. 25. In the Attributes dialog, change the Feature type to Polygons. This dialog shows the properties of all the feature polygons in the coverage. Notice that the recharge rates were transferred from the GIS attributes, just as specified. 26. Click OK. At this point, the user has river arcs and recharge polygons that could be used in further constructing a MODFLOW conceptual model. This topic is discussed in depth in the tutorial entitled MODFLOW Conceptual Model Approach and will not be discussed further here. 13 Conclusion This concludes the tutorial. Here are the things that were covered in this tutorial: ArcView Shapefiles can be imported into GMS without having a license of ArcView on your computer. Shapefile data can be converted to GMS scatter points or feature objects. If users have a license of ArcObjects installed, they can use a lot of powerful GIS tools in GMS that ESRI has provided.
