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. Find drain spacing using simplified Hooghoudt - Ernst Equation. 85.13 m 90.13 m O 105.13 m

A sand layer of 3 m thick lies on a 3 m clay deposit. The water table is below 2 m of the ground surface. There is a 1 m capillary rise above the water table. Below the clay, there is a 2 m of a sand layer that lies on a bedrock. Piezometers installed at the bottom of the clay layer show an artesian pressure, the piezometric level being 1 m above the ground surface. The saturated and dry unit weight of the sand is 18 and 16 kN/m3, respectively. The saturated unit weight of the clay is 20 kN/m3.

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.
A horizontal column of 100 cm length and 10 cm height is packed with a uniform soil with a saturated hydraulic conductivity of 4×10–5 cm/s. Then, the uppermost 1.0 cm is replaced with a soil with a saturated hydraulic conductivity of 2.2×10–7 cm/s. Therefore, the horizontal column has two horizontal layers. The pressure head is 20 cm at the left end (X = 0 cm; inflow boundary) of the column and 150 cm at the right end (X = 100 cm; outflow boundary). Flow is horizontal and steady state. For horizontal flow, the pressure head is the only driving force (gravitational head = 0). The volumetric water content of both soils is equal to the porosity and is 0.45 cm3/cm3. (A) Determine the effective saturated hydraulic conductivity of the layered soil column. (B) Calculate the Darcy’s flux through the layered soil column. (C) Calculate the Darcy’s flux in the top and bottom layers of the soil column.
