...MAKE SURE TO DRAW THE CROSS-SECTIONS AS ASKED...
Q) Borehole data from a site investigation shows three layers in the subsurface: an upper clay till, a sand/gravel aquifer, and a lower clay till, overtop of shale bedrock. Table 1 shows the borehole data with the thicknesses of each layer.
Table 1: Borehole Data
\table[[Borehole,A,B,C,D,E,F],[X coordinate (m)(east-west),46,90,150,210,280,330],[Y coordinate (m)(north-south),50,120,60,110,30,150],[Surface Elevation (m),533,511,501,485,479,470],[Depth to Aquifer (m),48,32,30,27,23,16],[Depth to Lower Till (m),78,61,56,45,35,24],[Depth to Bedrock (m),98,86,95,83,64,35],[\table[[Depth to water level in standpipe],[sealed into the inter-till aquifer.],[(m below ground surface)]],24,16,15,13,10,6]]
The clay till has a hydraulic conductivity of 2.810-7ms and the aquifer has a hydraulic conductivity of 1.510-4ms.
Draw as many cross-sections as you think you need, using the borehole data provided and determine the hydraulic gradient and resulting Darcy flow at each of the eastern and western portions of the project area.
