Confused about Borings and Stratigraphy
Permalink  
 


Data in the Borings table typically relate the field notes from the geologist that logged the hole. They are frequently detailed and describe multiple soil units that are at field scale might be considered to be portions of a single hydrogeologic unit. The Stratigraphy table contains an interpreted description of the hydrogeologic units. 3d geologic models, 3d fence diagrams and 2d geologic models on profiles are all generated using Stratigraphy data. EnviroInsite, at present, does not generate plots that correlate units between data compiled in the Borings table. There are several simple rules you must be aware of in entering Stratigraphy data.

Not allowed because of the repetition of sand as the first and third unit 


BH1 

sand
clay

gravel

________ 

Not allow due to inconsistencies in strata order

This is allowed to represent the pinching out of the clay layer in BH2

Can you please explain the difference between the Borings and Stratigraphy tables and the rules for loading stratigraphy data?
