What is estimated water content in the two samples at suction 15cm?
Determine the volume of water flowing through the sample shown in the figure per hour. There are 3 different soil layers and each is 200mm in length and diameter is 150mm. A constant head of 470mm is maintained across the soil sample. The porosity for Soil I is 0.5 and the value of k is 5*10^-3 cm/s. The porosity for Soil II is 0.55 and the value of k is 4.2*10^-2 cm/s. The porosity for Soil III is 0.35 and the value of k is 3.69*10^-4 cm/s. The hydraulic conductivities are measured in the direction of the flow.
