Next we'll define a multi-aquifer well.

1.Click the "Create point object" button Create point object button. Then click on the top view of the model near but not in the lake. The idea is to create it in the area where there are vertical flow-through cells to demonstrate that the vertical flow-through cells don't create a problem for the multi-aquifer well.
