Principles of Seepage

In hydrology, when water flows down in a pore or crack of unsaturated soil due to gravity, the deep layer of soil is called seepage. It is the slow movement of water in the soil layer. Seepage is mainly found near hydraulic structures and is responsible for the stability of earthen-type hydraulic structures.

Question

A stratum of soil consists of three layers of equal
thickness. The permeability of top, middle and
bottom layers are k 1= 10^-4* cm /sec, k_{2} =
2 * 10^-4 cm/sec, k_{3} = 1.5 * 10^-4 cm/sec.
Then the value of average k flow perpendicular to
the bedding plane is?
