A Channel runs along almost parallel to a river ,and they are 2000 ft apart. The water level in the river is at elevation of 120 ft .The channel is at elevation of 110 ft. A pervious formation averaging 30 ft. thick and with hydraulic conductivity of 0.25 ft/hr joins them. Determine the flow rate of seepage from the river in cu ft per day Hint :consider 1 ft length of the river and channel

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.
