Question: a ) Divide the total head drop from the recharge area to the discharge location by 8 . Using this increment, draw seven equipotential lines

a) Divide the total head drop from the recharge area to the discharge location by 8. Using this increment, draw seven equipotential lines within the aquifer at the appropriate locations use a copy of the included figure and label each line. (Hint: You will need to determine the x location along the aquifer for these heads; note the miles along the aquifer.) The aquifer is located between the confining materials and equipotential lines should be drawn perpendicular to the aquifer between the recharge and discharge locations.
b) For each point marked A through E in the figure below, calculate the pressure head. (Hint: You need to find the approximate location of each point and think about how the pressure head and total head are related.) Summarize your calculations in a table
