Question: From the data given ( top of well casing elevation ( TOC ) and depth to ground water ) calculate the ground water elevations of

From the data given (top of well casing elevation (TOC) and depth to ground water ) calculate the ground water elevations of monitoring wells MW-1, MW-2, and MW-3.( GW elev. = TOC elev. - depth to GW )
Monitoring Well Data
\table[[Monitoring Well #,\table[[Top of Casing],[Elevation (feet)]],\table[[Depth to Ground],[Water (feet)]],\table[[Ground Water],[Elevation (feet)]]],[MW-1,446.75,58.50,388.25],[MW-2,452.05,59.75,392.3],[MW-3,430.50,55.40,375.1]]
Using this data, calculate the hydraulic gradient (dh/dI) or slope of the water table. Please use the example included to go through the calculations. This will give you the direct ion of ground water flow. Follow the steps below exactly !!
Write the elevations in the table above by the correct monitoring well (MW) on the map provided. Write an "H" at the highest elevation, and " I " at the intermediate elevation, and an "L" at the lowest elevation.
Measure the distance from "H" to "L" in feet (from the scale on the map).
Insert the appropriate numbers in the following equation:
From the data given ( top of well casing
