Please answer the question in detail. Please ensure it is 100% done by human, please do not use AI or chatgpt.
Answer the below questions in detail using the attached pictures
using the provided hydraulic head data (attached spreadsheet), plot the values at their corresponding piezometer locations (attached piezometer map),
contour the head data to create equipotential lines that allow you to demonstrate the groundwater flow direction,
indicate the flow direction with arrows,
provide comments/observations about the characteristics of the groundwater flow system, for example, are the equipotential lines equally spaced? If not, can you comment on why there are areas with close spacing and other areas with wide spacing? Are there any areas where the aquifer displays artesian conditions? If so, where?
Please answer the three questions in detail and as best as you can.
plotting grain-size distribution curves from the grain data provided,
calculating D10 values for each sample and using it to estimate the hydraulic conductivity,
calculating the porosity for each sample

Using the Ogata-Banks analytical solution to the advection-dispersion equation (see attached Excel spreadsheet), answer the questions below. Read Section 2.2 to understand the characteristics of the complimentary error function. Plot the results with concentration (C) on the Y axis and Time on the X axis. This form of plot is known as a breakthrough curve. Conceptual Model An unlined waste disposal site is located some distance L from a pristine river system. The waste disposal site is built on a sandy aquifer that has a relatively high permeability and the groundwater velocity varies seasonally from 0.2 to 0.8 m/day. The groundwater flow direction is from the waste disposal site toward the adjacent river.arrow_forwardPlease answer all questions in detailarrow_forward
