Four monitoring wells have been placed around a leaking underground storage tank. The wells are located at the corners of a 1-ha square. The total piezometric head in each of the wells is as follows: NE corner, 30.0 m; SE corner, 30.0 m; SW corner, 30.6 m: NW corner 30.6 m. Determine the magnitude and direction of the hydraulic gradient.

direction : West to East

magnitude : 6.0 * 10^-3

Explanation:

Given data :

Four ( 4 ) monitoring wells

location of wells = corners of 1-ha square

Total piezometric head in each well ;

NE corner = 30.0 m ;

SE corner = 30.0 m;

SW corner = 30.6 m;

NW corner = 30.6 m.

Calculate for  the magnitude and direction of the hydraulic gradient

first step ; calculate for area

Area = ( 1 -ha  ) ( 10^4 m^2/ha )

        = 1 * 10^4 m^2

Distance between the wells = length of side

      = √( 1 * 10^4 ) m^2

      = 100 m

Direction of Hydraulic gradient is from west to east because the total piezometric head in the west = Total piezometric head in the east

Next determine The magnitude of the hydraulic gradient

= ( 30.6 - 30 ) / 100

= 6.0 * 10^-3

explanation: magnetic pole, region at each end of a magnet where the external magnetic field is strongest. the south-seeking pole, or any pole similar to it, is called a south magnetic pole. unlike poles of different magnets attract each other; like poles repel each other.

weather forecasts are done by collecting data about the current state of the atmosphere mainly the temperature, humidity and wind and using meteorology, to determine the atmosphere that evolves over time. the h and l mean the high and low pressure. the red strip is a warm front. the blue strip is a cold front. the blue and red strip is a stationary front. the purple strip is a occluded front.
