A canal and a river run parallel an average of 250 feet apart. The elevation of the water surface in the canal is at +1050 feet and in the river at +1021 feet. A stratum of sand intersects both the river and the canal below their water levels. The sand is 6 feet thick, and is sandwiched between strata fr³ day – mile of impervious clay. Compute the seepage loss q from the canal in if the permeability of the sand is 2 x103 sec 250' ELEV. +1050' ELEV. +1021' CLAY SAND
