Question
An oil company has drilled a hydraulic fracturing well near your microbrewery in Anytown,
U.S.A. It stores the wastewater in a holding pond on site until proper disposal techniques can be
implemented. On October 10 at 1200 hours, the company notified the town that they have
detected a leak in the holding pond and the brine water may have entered the water table aquifer.
Meanwhile, the Anytown Beer Brewery is happily making "Anytime Bitter IPA", known by its
slogan "Anytime you feel bitter, have an Anytime Bitter IPA". The source of water for their
product is a production well that taps the water table aquifer at a rate of 65 gpm. The monthly
water quality testing is due to occur on October 16 at 1600 hours.
Using the information provided, determine if the brine will show up during the inspection, what
additional contaminants may exist, and possible soil remediation techniques to solve the
problem.
1) Figure 1 shows a contour map of the water table around the well at the brewery.
Construct a flow net using the contours as equipotential lines. Also, make a cross-section
from A to A'. Include features such as the well, pumping water level, static water level,
and the stream and land surface.
