An artesian well completed in Death Valley, CA is capped, with a pressure gauge installed on the cap That reads 23 psi (hint: 1psi=2.31ft of water-pressure head). The ground elevation is -200 ft MSL and the well sticks up 5 ft above ground level. A company has hired you to calculate the hydraulic head (Ht) at this site so that a potentiometric-surface map can later be generated for the valley. () Sketch/label the field set-up in cross-section view and (fi) calculate Ht in ft MSL. (tif) At what land elevation would this well setup technically become a non-flowing artesian well and would therefore need to be pumped?
