A flownet is given below for flow under a concrete dam. The dam is 60 m long and has two 10 m sheet piles driven partially into the granular soil layer. The datum is at the surface of impervious bedrock, shown in the figure. The water level is H=20 m above soil layer in the upper stream and at the soil layer surface in downstream. The coefficient of permeability of soil is k= 0.6 m/day. Calculate the quantity of seepage under the dam during a period of 10 days. Unit: m3
