A series of piezometers have been installed into a shallow, unconfined aquifer at and research watershed. You have been tasked with assessing the water table. Coordinates for the three piezometers are based on a cartesian grid of the research watershed. Positive Y values indicate North; negative Y values indicate South; positive X values are East; negative X values are West. Z values are the elevation of the water table. All coordinate values listed below are in meters and reported in order as X, Y, Z. • Piezometer 1: 3621m, 7838m, 1134m • Piezometer 2: 3621m, 7638m, 1124m • Piezometer 3: 3421m, 7838m, 1134m What is the groundwater flow direction and the slope (not dip) of the water table?
