Question

Based on the schematic figure below, match the boreholes B1, B2, B3 and B4 listed in Group I with their features listed in Group II.

Group 1Group II
P. Borehole B11. well in unconfined aquifer
Q. Borehole B22. artesian well with water not flowing to surface
R. Borehole B33. artesian well with water flowing to surface
S. Borehole B44. dry well

The correct answer is
P-3; Q-4; R-1; S-2

To match the boreholes B1, B2, B3, and B4 with their respective features, we need to analyze the schematic diagram provided and understand each feature explained in Group II.

Let's evaluate each borehole:

  1. Borehole B1: It penetrates both the piezometric surface and the water table, indicating that it is an artesian well where the water flows out naturally due to pressure. This matches feature 3: artesian well with water flowing to surface.
  2. Borehole B2: It is not reaching the water table, suggesting it does not intersect an aquifer. Hence, it should correspond to feature 4: dry well.
  3. Borehole B3: This borehole reaches the water table but is below the piezometric surface, implying it is a well in an unconfined aquifer. This matches feature 1.
  4. Borehole B4: It intersects the aquifer below the piezometric surface, but the pressure is not enough to bring the water to the surface. So, it is an artesian well with water not flowing to the surface, matching feature 2.

Therefore, the correct match is:

P (Borehole B1)-3 (artesian well with water flowing to surface)
Q (Borehole B2)-4 (dry well)
R (Borehole B3)-1 (well in unconfined aquifer)
S (Borehole B4)-2 (artesian well with water not flowing to surface)

Thus, the correct answer is: P-3; Q-4; R-1; S-2.
