The compaction of the soil is generally removing the air void in the soil and makes the soil dense.…

Determine the volume of water flowing through the sample shown in the figure per hour. There are 3 different soil layers and each is 200mm in length and diameter is 150mm. A constant head of 470mm is maintained across the soil sample. The porosity for Soil I is 0.5 and the value of k is 5*10^-3 cm/s. The porosity for Soil II is 0.55 and the value of k is 4.2*10^-2 cm/s. The porosity for Soil III is 0.35 and the value of k is 3.69*10^-4 cm/s. The hydraulic conductivities are measured in the direction of the flow.
