Calculate the elevation of the water table at each well location and write the approximate elevation on the line next to each well. Next, use a colored pencil to draw smooth 10-foot contours that show the shape of the water table. (Start with the 1160-foot contour.) Use a pencil of a different color to draw arrows on the map to indicate the direction of the slope of the water table.
a. | Toward which direction (downward) does the water table slope? |
b. | Referring to the site of the proposed water well, at approximately what depth below the surface should the proposed well intersect the water table? |
