A canal and a stream run parallel to each other at a separation distance of 500m. both of them completely penetrate an unconfined aquifer (K= 3m/day) located above a horizontal impervious bed.  The aquifer forms the separation land and mass between the two water bodies. The water surface elevations in the canal and the stream are 5m and 15m, the datum being horizontal. Estimate the following: The seepage discharge in the canal, in cubic meters per day The seepage discharge in the stream, in cubic meters per day
