-100 BA Co B X 50 1 mile Figure 2.2: Potentiometric Contour Map. Letters represent well locations. Hydraulic Heads A 132 76 95 Calculate the hydraulic gradient from A to B. Calculate the hydraulic gradient from A to C. C D 47 Calculate the hydraulic gradient from A to D. Assuming a hydraulic conductivity of 6 feet per day and a porosity of 0.21, how long will it take water to flow from Well A to Well D? If a contaminant was spilled at X, which well(s) would not likely be affected? Explain. -100 BA Co B X 50 1 mile Figure 2.2: Potentiometric Contour Map. Letters represent well locations.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

The hydraulic gradient is a measure of the difference in hydraulic head between two points in an aquifer It is calculated by dividing the change in hydraulic head by the distance between the two point... View the full answer
