Problem 1(10 points/10 minutes)
A sandy-gravel unconfined aquifer (1) is separated from a silty-clay confined aquifer (3) by a
confining bed (2). The water rises 6m in a piesometer screened just below the confining bed.
What is the elevation head (z, pressure head (hp), and total hydraulic head (hr) of the
groundwater located at the points A, B, C and D? Fill in the table.
confining
Which direction is groundwater flowing?
Based on the total hydraulic head values at points A, B and D, discuss your results.
