Principles of Seepage

In hydrology, when water flows down in a pore or crack of unsaturated soil due to gravity, the deep layer of soil is called seepage. It is the slow movement of water in the soil layer. Seepage is mainly found near hydraulic structures and is responsible for the stability of earthen-type hydraulic structures.

The coefficient of permeability below a dam is 12 m/day. The water in the upstream side is 32 meter higher than on the downstream side (level with the ground). To estimate the seepage below the dam, a flow net is graphically drawn such that the number of potential drops, Nd = 8 and the number of flow channels Nf = 3. The base of the dam is founded 1.8 m below the ground. Between the heel and the toe of the dam, a distance of 32 meters, there are 6 potential drops. a.
