Exercise 27

This figure shows ternary diagrams from two different fractured aquifers. Each dot represents an outcrop; for each aquifer about 9 outcrops were studied. Based on these results, and assuming that fracture permeability is much higher than the matrix permeability of the rock, in which aquifer would you expect to see the higher permeability?
