Construct a 2D flow-net for the under-seepage problem of the dam below which rests on a 2-layer foundation. Both soil layers are isotropic in Darcy's law, with the isotropic permeabilities of the upper and lower layers being 1x10 and 3x10 m/s, respectively. State and use the transfer conditions about the change of angles of flowlines (Snell's law in seepage) as flows enter and exit from layer 1 to layer 2 through their interface, and the change of flow net aspect ratios.
