Optimal Well Location Analysis Using GIS

The document provides 3 raster grids showing the locations of streams, shallow aquifers, and deep aquifers. It asks to identify the best locations for a well by applying Boolean logic to exclude stream locations and select either shallow or deep aquifer locations. Intermediate layers are created by applying NOT to streams, XOR and OR to aquifers, and AND to exclude streams from the aquifer layers. The final layer identifies optimal well locations within either the shallow or deep aquifer.

As a GIS analyst for a consultant company you have been asked to determine the best locations for a
well to supply water to a small village. You have been given the three Boolean raster grids below.
Notice that you cannot drill a well in the stream and that your well can only extract water from the
shallow aquifer or the deep aquifer, but not from both. Show all intermediate layers and the Boolean
operators used to obtain the final layer.
