Water table in a canal command receives a recharge at the rate 2.5 mm/day. Sub-surface ditch drains at a spacing of 2 km are provided for the sub-surface drainage. Estimate the maximum rise of the water table at steady state. Given: hydraulic conductivity of the soil = 10 m/day, depth of the impervious layer below initial water table position = 20 m. Assume the ditches to be fully penetrating.

Problem 3. A stream of 175 liters per second was diverted from the river and 105 liters per second was delivered to the field. An area of 2 hectares was irrigated in hours. The root-zone depth was 1.8 m. The runoff averaged 50 liters per second for 3 hours. The depth of water penetration varied linearly from 1.8 m at the head of the field to 1.2 m at the end of the field. Determine the water-conveyance efficiency, the water-application efficiency, * ~ff:
If the rain starts at 8:00PM on 10November2015, use Horton's Equation to solve for the infiltration capacity of the soil (mm per hr) at 3:12AM the next day. Given the initial infiltration capacity of the soil is 0.0386 cm per min, the time constant as 0.1018 per hour, and the capacity of soil for final infiltration is 0.6683 cm per hour.
Determine the overflow rate, hydraulic detention time and the size of spherical sand particle (2.6g/cm3) which is 100% removed by 10 primary sedimentation tanks that operate in parallel to treat a flow of 0.7 m3/s with the following dimensions Length = 70m, width = 12 m and depth=3m. Assume 20°C for the water temperature.
Exercise [1] For a small drainage area, the infiltration rate at the start of rainfall storm was record to be 90 mm/hr and decreased exponentially to a constant rate of 8 mm/hr after 2.5 hr. The total infiltration during 2.5 hr was 50 mm. Develop the Horton's equation for the infiltration rate at any time t < 2.5 hr.
