Question

For the two-dimensional flow system shown below (units in meters):
Compute the total flow rate under the Dam.

X = 4, Y = 8.

Note 1: Point A is located in the middle point of the equipotential lines. Point B is located in the middle point of the flow lines.
Note 2: Assume e=0.8 (void ratio) and k=10^-3 cm/s (coeff. of permeability).
Note 3: Datum is located at the bottom level of the water (right side of Dam).
Note 4: Remember, the figure is drawn to scale. So, use the value of 2X+Y to estimate any dimension that you consider necessary.
