1) A piezometer is screened at a depth of 20 m below land surface and records a pressure of 120 kPa on a pressure transducer. An immediately adjacent piezometer is screened at a depth of 10 m below the land surface, and the piezometer is filled with water to a depth of 7 m below the land surface. Is the vertical component of flow upward or downward at this location?

a) draw a diagram (roughly to scale) of the problem and label all given measurements and set variables for each measurement   Be sure to indicate your choice of datum.

b) write your equations with variables first

c) show your calculation of hydraulic head for each piezometer

d) justify your answer

    The figure below shows the soil profile conditions below a 5-m deep pond. Water is seeping directly downward under steady-state conditions through the clay layer into underlying gravel. Assume the elevation datum at the top of the gravel layer and that the hydrostatic ground water table is also found in the top of the gravel and its position does not change with time or amount of flow. For these flow conditions, calculate the following: a. b. c. d. e. f....
