Use the Striplog Aquifers check-box to display one or more filled blocks in your logs representing the top and base depths of all of your aquifers. Insert a check in the Aquifers Text check-box to plot the water level measurement dates and aquifer names. When you click on the Aquifers or Aquifers Text items in the layout window you’ll see the following settings in the pane to the right. Note that you can activate the fill column and text independently.
The aquifer name and depth data are read from the RockWorks Borehole Manager's Water Levels data table. The color and patterns for each aquifer are read from the Aquifer Types table.

Aquifer Column Options
- Left Margin: Determines the space between the aquifer column and the item to its left, as a percent of the project output dimensions. The greater the value, the wider the space. Default = 0.1.
- Width: This setting establishes the width of the aquifer column, as a percent of the output dimensions. The greater the value, the wider the column. Default = 1.
- Column title: Click here to enter text to be displayed above the aquifer column. If no title is desired, you can leave this field blank.
- Font: This establishes the size for the title as a percent of the output dimensinos. A smaller size setting creates smaller text characters.
- Vertical Offset: Determines how far above the column the title will be plotted. If you expect to apply vertical exaggeration of 5x or more to your log or section, you might consider a value of 0.
- Column Perimeter: Insert a check here to border the column with a line style and color that you choose.
- Clip: This setting affects the plotting of aquifer intervals above the top of the log.
- Check this box to be sure the log is clipped at the ground surface.
- Uncheck this box if you have entered water levels as negative depths in the Water Levels datasheets (to indicate above well surface). Removing the check-mark from the Clip box will assure that the log isn't clipped at the surface.
- Date/Time: Expand this heading and click on the Time Filter Options button to specify the date or date range for the intervals to be plotted.
- Style:
- Plot Special Symbol at Top of Aquifer: Use this option to include a water level symbol at the aquifer top. Expand this to select the fill and outline color for the symbol, the outline thickness and the symbol height.
- Fill Aquifer with Designated Color: Use this to fill the column with the color and pattern defined for the aquifer in the Aquifer Types table. You can include both the fill and the symbol in the column.
Aquifer Text Column Options
- Left Margin: Determines the space between the aquifer text column and the item to its left, as a percent of the project output dimensions. The greater the value, the wider the space. Default = 0.
- Width: This setting establishes the width of the text column, as a percent of the output dimensions. The greater the value, the wider the column. Note that you may have to adjust this if you activate a number of the text fields, below. Default = 1.
! Text does not wrap within this column - it's designed for short labels.
- Column title: Click here to enter text to be displayed above the aquifer text column. If no title is desired, you can leave this field blank.
- Font: This establishes the size for the text title as a percent of the study area dimensions. A smaller size setting creates smaller text characters.
- Vertical Offset: Determines how far above the column the title will be plotted. If you expect to apply vertical exaggeration of 5x or more to your log or section, you might consider a value of 0.
- Column Perimeter: Insert a check here to border the column with a line style and color that you choose.
- Font: Establishes the size for the aquifer text as a percent of the output dimensions. A smaller size setting creates smaller text characters. Default = 0.5
- Borders: Insert a check here if you want to include solid line borders around the water level text. Be warned that any long text labels may extend outside a too-narrow column. If this happens, increase the column size and/or decrease the font size, above.
- Centered: Insert a check in this box to display the aquifer captions as centered vertically in their intervals. If left unchecked, the captions will plot at the top of the interval.
- Leader Lines: Insert a check in this box to include a line between the caption and the top and base of the aquifer block. Expand this heading to select line style and color.
- Content:
- Aquifer Name: Check this box if the text column should display the aquifer name.
- Sampling Date: Check this box if the text column should display the date.
