Ground water will flow from MW4 to MW8 to MW6 if path of flowing of ground water is linear through these points. But looking towards map provided, these points are not linear. So, the flow will be from MW4 to MW6 & MW8 to MW6. Its because of their Reduced levels(RL). RL of MW4 is highest 373.59 m (considering SI unit system) followed by RL of MW8 which is 369.61 m and lastly RL of MW6 which is 367.88 m.
As per RL, MW4 is well placed because sanitary sewer lines placed below RL of MW4 so no sanitary water flow will take place towards MW4. But other two MW8 and MW6 are placed below RLs of sewer lines, therefore, it is possible that through any leakages, it may contaminate waters of wells. But, if sewers are free of leakages and seepages, then position of these wells are also on right positions. But possibilities of contaminations should also be checked.
