For this example, five user-defined data sets will be created. Four of them will be used for working with imported data. The fifth will be used for the hydraulic conductivity of the upper aquifer. This final data set will be used in conjunction with the geometry of the aquifers to help specify the hydraulic conductivity distribution.
