Problem 2 An earth dam is built on an impervious foundation with a horizontal filter at the base near the toe. The permeability of the soil in the horizontal and vertical directions are 3 × 10-² mm/sec and 1× 102 mm/sec, respectively. The full reservoir level is 30 m above the filter. A flow net constructed for the transformed section of the dam, consist of 4 (four) flow channels and 16 (sixteen) potential drops. Estimate the seepage loss per meter length of the dam.
A reservoir is to be constructed with the following characteristics: Mean Annual Runoff, MAR =50mm Catchment Area = 286km2 Coefficient of Variation CV= 110% Full Supply Capacity FSC = 8x 106m3 What is the probability that the reservoir will fill to full capacity from empty in one year assuming that the runoff data follows the Weibull distribution function?
