A sediment laden water is to be treated in a sedimentation tank with Type I settling characteristics. The tank is 35 m. long and 20 m. wide with a depth of 5 m. A controlled constant flow rate of 3.5 m³/s passes through the tank. A particle size analysis has been made and the results are listed in the table below:

Laboratory Determination of Hydraulic Conductivity

Hydraulic conductivity is the measure of flowability of water inside the soil in the presence of a hydraulic gradient. The hydraulic gradient is defined as the difference in the water heads in the soil, which induces a water motion. In simple terms, a hydraulic gradient is the presence of a potential that induces a flow of water.
