4. A 500-m long levee made of compacted clay impounds water in a reservoir as shown in Figure 3. A sandy-silt seam of average thickness 1.0 m (measured in the direction in the vertical direction) cuts across the otherwise impermeable clay. The average hydraulic conductivity of the sandy-silt seam is 1.5 ×10-5 cm/sec. Determine the volume of water that flows into the ditch every day. EL. 38 m Levee Reservoir (Compacted clay) EL: 32 m EL: 30 m Sand seam m- --- EL: 26m Ditch EL: 24m Clay 50 m (Not to scale)
