Question

The numbers in ((())) represent the depth of the water table below the surface of each well. What is the elevation of A,B,C,F,G,H, and I,D,E if no contour is given?

Solve I,D,E

Draw a 10-Meter Contour for the 5 water table cntour lines that demonstrate the SLOPE of the water table in the area. (Use your data from the points elevations plotted)

3. Draw 3 arrows on the map indicating the downward direction of the gradient water table.

4. Using the proposed water well point; at what elevation should drilling equipment reach the water table? How do you know, show work. 5. How far is this elevation using the surface , how far underground is the water table?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The most accurate way to determine the depth of the water table at any given moment is to use a tape measure to gauge the water level in a shallow well.
