# Aquifer

The printing of aquifer output is controlled by entering "y" or "n" in the *aquifer* line in [print.prt](https://swatplus.gitbook.io/io-docs/introduction-1/simulation-settings/print.prt). In addition, a basin average of all aquifers can be printed by entering "y" in the *basin\_aqu* line in [print.prt](https://swatplus.gitbook.io/io-docs/introduction-1/simulation-settings/print.prt). Aquifer output can be printed at daily, monthly, yearly, and average annual time steps. The names of the aquifer output files are as follows: 

* aquifer\_day.txt
* aquifer\_mon.txt
* aquifer\_yr.txt
* aquifer\_aa.txt
* basin\_aqu\_day.txt
* basin\_aqu\_mon.txt
* basin\_aqu\_yr.txt
* basin\_aqu\_aa.txt
