Question 6: Field work [100marks]
Three wells A, B and C tap from the same unconfined aquifer. The distances AB=1200m, and BC=1000m. The well B is exactly south of well A and well C lies to the west of well B. The following are the ground surface elevation and the depth of water below the ground surface in the three wells
\table[[Well,\table[[Surface Elevation above datum],[(m)]],\table[[Depth of water table],[(m)]]],[A,200,11],[B,197,7],[C,202,14]]
a) Sketch the relative position of the wells
b) Determine the direction of groundwater flow and the hydraulic gradient in the direction of flow (Consider homogeneous and isotropic condition)
