4. During a rainstorm, you measured 3 cm³/hr of water discharging from a 100 cm² cross section at the base of a stream bank. The bank is made of glacial till with a hydraulic conductivity of 3 x 10-4 cm/s. What would the water table elevation (relative to the base of the stream bank) have been 15 m away from the stream bank to the nearest centimeter?
