Step 6: Extract and view results
< To produce head contours
1. Using the Results Extractor, save the hydraulic head data as T2S1.DAT and T2S2.DAT
and T2S3.DAT for Layer 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
2. Select Tools < Presentation and load the saved data into each layer. Alternatively, you may
open the Results Extractor dialog box within the Data Editor by Value < Result
Extractor. In this case, the Results Extractor dialog box will contain an additional Apply
button, which allows to put the data from the Results Extractor to the model grid directly.
3. Use Options < Environment... to set the settings of the contours. The contour plot for the
first model layer should look similar to that in Fig 6.11.

< To delineate the capture zones of the pumping wells
1. Start PMPATH by Models < PMPATH (Pathlines and contours).
PMPATH will loads the current model automatically. We will place particles around the
pumping wells and examine their 10 year capture zones.
2. Move to Layer 3 by pressing the Page Down (PgDn) key twice.
3. Click on the button and drag a small box around the cell containing Well 1 by holding
down the left mouse button and moving the mouse.
4. When you release the mouse button the Add New Particles dialog box appears, edit
Particles on circles such that the number of particles is equal to 15, the radius R = 80 and
the number of planes NK=3.
5. Click the Properties tab and change the color of new particles to Blue.
