Turn off Unused Aquifer Types

Use the Aquifer Types Table's Edit | Turn Off Unused Aquifers tool to scan the borehole database and turn off those names not currently referenced in the project database. This can be a handy way to keep unused aquifer names from being displayed in diagram legends, to reduce the number of names linked to the water level data tables, and to flag those types that can be deleted from the Types Table.

! The unused names will not be removed from the Table, but simply listed without a check-mark in the Show in Legend column.


  1. Open your project's Aquifer Types Table.
  2. Select the Edit | Turn Off Unused Aquifer option.

    The program will scan the project's Water Levels data tables to determine which types are referenced there. All un-referenced aquifer names will be shown without checkmarks from the Show in Legend column in the Aquifer Types Table.

  3. At this point you can close the Aquifer Types Table (choose File | Exit) and continue your work.
    Or, you can actually delete any unused names by clicking in each row and typing Ctrl+Del (or right-clicking and choosing Rows/Delete).
