Solution Exercise 18
Everyone’s response will be different. You can return to this software to explore many conceptual alternatives. First, I created a basin shown below. There were some small local and intermediate systems.
I decided I could create more significant local and intermediate systems by using less relief and that was the case as shown below.
I decided the hierarchy of flow systems would also be significantly impacted by the number and the amplitude of the variations of the water table, as shown below.
For heterogeneity I added a high K blue layer embedded in a low K yellow material and noted that this had a major impact on the flow paths, with flow being channeled through the high K material and diverting up to the surface along the length of the basin, with a few local systems in the shallow portion of the basin.
