A layered soil deposit is of dimension 3m x 2m x 3m. There are three different soils, each of 1 m thick as shown. The coefficient of permeability of these soil layered are shown in figure. The water is flowing in the z-direction under the head loss of 5.15 m. The quantity of flow (in m³/hr) would be 1m 1 m 1m 2m k₂ = 5 x 10 m/s k₂=2.5 x 10 m/s k₂ = 1.25 x 10³ m/s 3 m
