Q6/a: A soil of two layers has a hydraulic conductivity of 8(cm/day) for the first layer, and 2.5(m/day) for the second layer. There is a boundary level which separate the two layers and the location of the boundary is after the first layer. The drain is installed on the second layer at a distance of 3.2 m from the impervious layer. The total depth of the second layer is 5m. The depth of water table from drain level is 2.5m, the recharge is 2.7(cm/day), and drain wetted parameter 0.3m.

An earthen dam is constructed on an impermeable bedrock layer. It is 123m across (i.e., the distance from the water in the reservoir to the tailwaters below the dam is 123m). The average hydraulic conductivity of the material used in the dam construction is 1.33 m/d. The water in the reservoir behind the dam is 18.5 m deep and the tailwaters below the dam are 4.6 m deep. Compute the volume of water that seeps from the reservoir, through the dam, and into the tailwaters per 100-m-wide strip of the dam in cubic meters per day.
