THE WHOLE THING! etical Situation: READ T Figure 3.17 is the map of a hypotietical area by underlainAt that point, Jones and Smith hired an attorney to sand crossed by a perimanentle the suit. The Clear Creek, that flows in a southeasterly direcgist at a ground suface is gently sloping to the south atfomey sooght the advice of a yeolos nearby unlversity who hed access to publica tions of the U.S.G.S, in the school's library There the tion. The esst, and the shallow table contoturs. Te location of a dump is showo on theA section of the report on groutdwater contained a map water table is defined by the water geologist discovered a report of the geology of the areal The dimip is privately owned and operated by a showing water table contours based on static water lev that bauls trash and garbage for residents g els in other, wells not shown in figure 3.17, The geolo mall company transferred he was ptepar the bottiom of which lies just above the water tableing for the lawyer. This map is figure 3.17. The Jones property lies southeast of the dump, and its west property line borders on Clear Creek Mr, Jones owns horses that he keeps in the batn and corral part of the time, The rest of the time the horses graze on the property and occasionally drink the water from Clear Creek The Smith estate lies west of Clear Creek and also has frontage on the creck Both Jones and Smith derive their domestic water supplies from wells that penetrate tbe shallow water table. To assure themselves that the water was suitable for human consumption, Jones and Smith had well-water samples 'analyzed by the county health department at the time their wells were com- pleted. Both Smith and Jones owned their respective properties for many years prior to the establishment of the duimp and have enjoyed potable water until recently Recently, Jones' well water began to deteriorate in quality. This was verified when Jones had his water tested again at the county health department Jones attributed this to pollution of the groundwater from leaching of domestic waste deposited in the dump. Irn talking with his neighbor, Smith, Jones suggested that the two of them should file suit against the owner of the dump and obtain a court injunction that would require cessation of all further dumping. So Smith had water from his well tested again and found that it had not changed in quality since the tests conducted prior to the creation of the dump. Yet stream samples along the stretch that forms the boundary between the Jones and Smith properties were also 'ana- lyzed by the county health department and were found to bé contaminated by mateñals similar to those found in the recent water samples from the Jones well. This was suffi- cient evidenice to convince Smith that be ought to join in the suit with Jones against the dump operator. Smith rea soned that if the creek were contaminated with the same materials found in the Jones well, it would be only a mat ter of time until his well would also be polluted.Explanation / Answer
Q3 ,a ) polluting the well on the jones property
1.yes its less chances of polute water because we are calculating three main reasions
one is flow of water , area of well and direction of the area
2. water travels ftowards east-south as per contour map
jones well above the clear creek , jones well property line is abov the clear creek nearly 795 feet
Q3, b ) poluting any part in the creek
1.water flowing towards east-south direction as per contour map
2.as per contou map dump area at 800-801 feet and creek area narly 975-979feet so in should poluted nearly dou part of flow area from 797-793 feet
Q3 Poluting The Smith Well
yes this also poluting beause smit well property line below the creek and water flow area
Q4 ) jones property AT the Well sits Exactly 812 Feet Above The Sea Level
the minimum DEpth Of the Water level bitweem 800-801 Feet
Q5 ) The Direction Of The Clear Creek East South (E-S)
Q7 ) jone Well Better Because Above THe Creek
