From the given potentiometric map, it is very much clear that the groundwater in general flows from west to east as the discharge area is in the east and also the elevations of potentiometric surfaces of different wells tend to decrease from west to east side of the map. So you should draw arrows along the potentiometric data for wells (identified by circles on the map) showing eastward direction to describe the overall trend of regional groundwater flow. can you draw it for me? **Assignment:**Use the potentiometric data for the wells (circles, height in feet above an arbitrary datum such as sea level) to contour the groundwater surface. Draw arrows showing the direction of regional groundwater flow based on this potentiometric map. Note the red dashed line is the concentration of total dissolved solids.**Map Explanation:**- **Map Area**: The map focuses on a region within Texas, USA, indicated on a smaller inset map showing its location within the state and its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico.- **Groundwater Flow**: Wells are depicted as white circles with numbers representing their potentiometric surface in meters above sea level. This indicates the hydraulic head or water pressure at that location.- **Potentiometric Surface**: - **Edwards Aquifer**: Marked with light purple contour lines around the values of 180 meters. - **Trinity Aquifer**: Marked with dark green contour lines around the values of 300 meters.- **Dissolved Solids Concentration**: - The red dashed lines represent concentrations of total dissolved solids, with values labelled as 1000 and 1600 mg/liter.- **Other Features**: - **Springs**: Marked by blue symbols, indicating locations where groundwater emerges naturally. - **Aquifer Zones**: The Saline Edwards Aquifer Zone is in gray. - **River and Lake**: The Blanco River and Canyon Lake are highlighted in blue. - **Cities**: Locations like Austin, Dripping Springs, Jacobs Well, Wimberley, and Buda are noted for reference.- **Aquifer Legend**: - **Edwards Aquifer** is shown as a confined (line-dashed) or unconfined (solid line) area. - **Trinity Aquifer** is marked in green, highlighting its undivided extent.**Objective**: Understand and visualize groundwater movement and quality, using potentiometric contours and total dissolved solids concentrations to analyze and predict regional hydrogeological conditions.
