Abstract
EM apKGS2 is a user-friendly, PC-based electronic mapping tool for use in hydrogeologic exploration and appraisal. EM apKGS2 allows the analyst to construct maps interactively from data stored in a relational database, perform point-oriented spatial queries such as locating all wells within a specified radius, perform geographic overlays, and export the data to other programs for further analysis. EM apKGS2 runs under Microsoft R Windows ™ 3.1 and compatible operating systems. EM apKGS2 is a public domain program available from the Kansas Geological Survey. EM apKGS2 is the centerpiece of Wheat, the Windows-based Hydrogeologic Exploration and Appraisal Toolkit, a suite of user-friendly Microsoft R Windows ™ programs for natural resource exploration and management. The principal goals in development of Wheat have been ease of use, hardware independence, low cost, and end-user extensibility. Wheat's native data format is a Microsoft R Access R database. Wheat stores a feature's geographic coordinates as attributes so they can be accessed easily by the user. The Wheat programs are designed to be used in conjunction with other Microsoft R Windows ™ software to allow the natural resource scientist to perform work easily and effectively. Wheat and EM apKGS have been used at several of Kansas' Groundwater Management Districts and the Kansas Geological Survey on groundwater management operations, groundwater modeling projects, and geologic exploration projects.
