Chapter 22.8A, Problem 3A
Summary Introduction
The solar time of a person that is living 4 degrees of longitude east of the noon meridian.
Introduction:
Time can be considered in two ways, one is standard time and the other is solar time. Standard time is the system used throughout the world. Standard time can be divided into 24 standard time zones on the globe. Solar time is the measure of time, based on the position of the Sun. Solar time is based on 24-hour format.

You call a friend on the phone, and she says it is also noon where she is but the Sun is not directly overhead at that location and time. It is a little lower in the sky for her.

- Use the attached piezometer map to make your own, clean version of the map, and indicate the elevation of the water table at all piezometer locations. Draw equipotential lines (lines of equal water table elevation) using regular intervals – creating a contoured map of the water table. Determine the direction of groundwater flow based on the horizontal gradient. Label the areas of recharge and discharge directly on your map. Flow lines: Draw flow lines on your water table map. The lines should be at right angles to the equipotential lines and extend from the recharge area to the discharge area. Hydraulic Gradient, Specific Discharge (Darcy Flux), Average Linear Velocity: Using your water table map, estimate an average hydraulic gradient between two locations, call them locations A and B, one at the eastern-most and a second at the western-most extent of your dataset (note the north arrow on the map).
