The Wonderful Topographic Map

For Piedmont an Mountain ground-water insight
The local topographic map gets it right
The topographic contours conveyed on the ground
Reveal much about water behavior that is sound.

A subdued replica of the surface of the land
Is the water table below, going hand-in-hand.
The crude similarity is rather easy to see
Rendering many interpretations that should be.

Recharge, transmission, and discharge we surmise
And inferences from the map are no surprise.
Studying ground water in the region is prolonged
If we do not use topographic maps all along.

We can readily note ground-water seepage and springs
By using deduction that a topographic zone brings.
We should start our study with a thinking cap
And the appropriate topographic map in our lap.
