explain whether a topographic or a geologic map would be most useful
drilling a water well
A hydrological map would be the most usefull. But that is just
my opinion. It dosen't matter, I am just a cat : (
A geologic map would be useful since geologic maps show the
rock formations along with structural information such as faults, folds
and cross sections (of the substratum), in addition to the topology. A
topographic map shows only lines of equal elevation.
A geologic map can be used to interpret where likely
groundwater zones are located. A topo map might suggest areas that
couldn't be drilled but otherwise would not be very useful.
Geologic. The proper type of geologic map would show aquifers
which contain water. This could show the areal extent, depth, & what
strata overlies the water so you know exactly where to drill, how deep, &
what type of sediment you have to drill through.
A topo map would show surface contours & be of very limited help for
drilling, other than navigating to the area. Because the strike & dip of the bedrock does not always match the prevailing grade of the surface, little can be told from a topo map about what direction underground water may flow.
a topographic map shows surface features and wouldnt be much
help. a geologic map should show whats under ground
I might use a geologic map, because it shows things
differently. However, you can tell a lot from a good topo map. You can
see how the water must run underground from given slopes.

Is there an easy way to calculate my potential earnings off of an oil well being drilled on my property? What do you think would be the "average" cost to drill a well in Missouri? How well does gorilla glue work on concrete walls? How often does your drilled well run dry? Residential Well question Now that a Federal Judge has blocked 0bamas wet dream to kill offshore drilling My neighbor had a well drilled. How does one know where to dig a water well? whtat are different drilling speed in oil well detecting subsurface faults and their types in oil drilling Did Obama already approve another oil well in the gulf for drilling at only 100 foot where would i go to get information on a gas well drilled in Freestone, Texas in the Early 1980's If the oil well was in shallow water would it have been fixed weeks ago? Why is drilling now done in the deep?? when drilling for gas or oil in a limestone formation what is considered good pressure at the well site Who is onlineUsers browsing this forum: 4 guests |
