5.0m 2.0 10.0 m 2.5 8.0 m A cross section through an earth dam is shown in the figure. The earth dam is on an impermeable bedrock. The coefficient of permeability of the soil forming the dam is 7.0e – 6 m/sec. Determine a) the rate of flow through the dam in litre/hour per metre length. 31.5 b) the water pressure at point A (in kPa) which is in the middle of the core of the dam. 58.6 show steps (After Rarnes)
