From the hydrological profile shown above, the aquifer depicted is can be said to be a confined
aquifer. This conclusion has been reached seeing that the absolute water rest level (A_wrl) is
above the absolute water struck level (A_wsl). This is to say that, during the well/borehole
development, the water was struck at the unconfined layer then drilling continued down to the
unconfined aquifer. The water finally settled at the physiometric level which is its (wrl).
Qn 3
From the transmissivity map shown (Attached), it is seen that the areas in blue have high
transmissivity value which means that these areas have a high groundwater potential.
Conversely, the areas depicted in yellow have low transmissivity values which translates to low
groundwater potential.
