A reservoir with a 3,400 m² area is underlain by layers of stratified soils as chown in Figure 10.32. The values of L1, L2, and L3 are 2.0 m, 1.4 m, and 3.2 m, respectively. (a) What the average vertical coefficient of permeability. (b) Determine the interstitial (actual) velocity of water moving through the soil if it has a void ratio of 0.60. (c) Compute the water loss from the reservoir in one year. Assume that Cs s the pore pressure at ihe bottom sand layer is zero.
