I want to ask this question from Wells topic in chapter Irrigation Works, Culverts, Bridges and Wells of Civil Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) True

The explanation: Monitoring wells or piezometers, are often smaller diameter wells used to monitor the hydraulic head or sample the groundwater for chemical constituents. Piezometers are monitoring wells completed over a very short section of aquifer. Monitoring wells can also be completed at multiple levels, allowing discrete samples or measurements to be made at different vertical elevations at the same map location.
