Textbook Question

Chapter 8.6, Problem 1A

Calculate the elevation of the water table at each well location and write the approximate elevation on the line next to each well. Next, use a colored pencil to draw smooth 10-foot contours that show the shape of the water table. (Start with the 1160-foot contour.) Use a pencil of a different color to draw arrows on the map to indicate the direction of the slope of the water table.

a.	Toward which direction (downward) does the water table slope?
b.	Referring to the site of the proposed water well, at approximately what depth below the surface should the proposed well intersect the water table?

The company you work for has been hired to perform geological mapping and mineral potential assessment in a third-party area. During your fieldwork, you discovered a shear zone (SZ) with a general attitude of 0°/90°, approximately 1 km long and 2 m wide, which occurs over very weathered rocks with a schist appearance and contains quartz veins and veinlets with boxworks showing Fe oxides (see figure). The chemical analyses of the samples you collected gave interesting values of 6 to 14 ppm of Au. Your boss, very free, asked you to prepare a quote for the execution of an exploratory drilling hole for two different orientation conditions (60° and 70°) in order to investigate: the continuity of the mineralization at depth, what the host is and whether there is also mineralization on both sides. For this, your boss will tell you that the hole should intercept a ZC 100 meters below the surface, where the rock will certainly be fresh, and that the entire hole should be chemically applied.…
