Comments

  • I work for the Montana DEQ - Source Water Protection Program. We utilize the web based NRIS Thematic Mapper that links to the MBMG data. This mapper is tremendously useful to determine relationships between wells- surface water- logs- geology- etc. Although- a geology layer to the thematic mapper would be nice- I guess it doesn-t have to be overly complex. Sincerely- Jeffrey Frank Herrick- Hydrogeologist- DEQ SWPP
