For importing distributed model properties from discrete data points and field measurements using either Kriging, Natural Neighbor or Inverse Distance interpolation methods (supports ASCII text, Microsoft Excel, and GIS Shape file formats).

For importing soil properties from ASCII text files and standard GIS Shape (*.shp) files.  See an example VMOD 3D-Explorer screen capture to the left.

Groundwater Vistas is set up to work with many versions of MODFLOW, including the standard USGS version, MODFLOW-SURFACT, MODFLOWWT and SEAWAT. 

An aerial map was used as the base map. This provide a more realistic approach to grid generation.

An excellent option for conducting transport modeling at a different scale from the flow model. It's now possible to evaluate pumping tests, well head protection and recharge areas at a local scale.

Groundwater Vistas supports PEST, UCODE, and has an inverse model built into the interface. In addition, the automated sensitivity analysis is a very powerful feature that no other MODFLOW interface has. Use a script file to test many parameters in one set of runs.

Groundwater Vistas is the only interface to offer Monte Carlo simulation for real-world models. This is an excellent tool for mapping probabilistic capture zones.

Groundwater Vistas can import and export data in a wide variety of file formats to interface with software packages such as: EVS, Tecplot, Surfer, ArcView, and Excel. The ArcView interface is particularly flexible.

Groundwater Vistas allows the user to view cross-section and plan-view images on the same plot.  This provides a unique perspective to the user.
