Location 4

Explanation:

At location 4, the water will emerge on the surface as a spring.

A spring usually forms where the land intersects the water table. This allows for the natural flow of water from the ground water system.

The water table is the layer below which water fills the pore spaces of rocks.

Above the water table is the zone of aeration.
