1. The following data are from three nested piezometers (installed side by side at a single location): Piezometer a b с Elevation at surface (m.a.s.l.) 463 463 463 Depth of Piezometer (m) 160 110 60 Depth to water (m) 27 47 36 Note: m.a.s.l. means metres above sea level Let A, B and C refer to the points of measurement (middle of the screen) for piezometers a, b and c respectively. Calculate: i) Hydraulic head (H) at A, B and C (m) ii) The pressure head (y) at A, B and C iii) The elevation head (z) at A, B and C iv) The fluid pressure (N/m²) at A, B and C v) The hydraulic gradients between A and B, and between B and C.
