3. Examine the suite of resistivity and IP logs for the wells at this site (Figures 2 b and 2 c ). Note, the \( \log \) scale for resistivity is from \( 10^{0} \) (1) to \( 10^{3.5} \mathrm{ohm}-\mathrm{m} \), and the arithmetic scale for IP is from 8 to \( 120 \mathrm{mV} / \mathrm{V} \). a) Mark X's next to each significant fracture on each of Resistivity and IP logs. b) Are the fractures / fracture zone depths continuous across the site? c) Do you think fracture density (the number of fractures per unit length of borehole) is uniform across the site? Is likely that the fracture density is related to the well yield? Why? d) Group the wells according to their fracture \& possible yield relation - i.e. which ones might produce more water, and which less?

Step 1
However, in general, fractures can be identified on resistivity logs as zones of lower resistivity (since fractures often contain fluids which are more conductive than the surrounding rock), and on IP logs as zones of higher chargeability (since fractures can Show more…

5. (11) On the hydrogeologic cross-section below, assume the head measurements at the uppermost points are from water table wells: a. (3) Draw water table in blue. b. (3) Draw equipotential (contour) lines at 2.5 m intervals (starting with 197.5 m or 200 m) in black and label the lines. c. (3) Draw flow lines in black, starting at the water table immediately below locations a, b, c, and d. d. (2) Draw the potentiometric surface for A-A’ in red (this potentiometric surface represents the height to which water would rise in any well that was installed with a screen on the A-A’ transect). Note the A-A’ line is simply a transect and does not represent a physical boundary in the cross section. K is homogeneous.
