Question 1

What are equipotential lines?

  • Lines of varying flow direction
  • Lines of equal hydraulic head
  • Boundaries of soil types

💡 Hint: Think about what it means for multiple points to have the same pressure.

Question 2

True or False: Flow lines are perpendicular to equipotential lines.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Visualize how water would move relative to pressure differences.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Create a flow net for an unconfined aquifer scenario where the top and bottom boundaries are constant hydraulic heads. Describe how you would determine the equipotential lines and flow lines.

💡 Hint: Consider the overall hydraulic gradient and how it affects your flow direction.

Question 2

In a given area, the phreatic surface was found to be sloping towards a river. Analyze how this impacts the groundwater flowing in that direction and relate it to your flow net.

💡 Hint: Visualize how pressure changes when heading towards a lower area, such as the river.
