(c) The water table in a farm is to be dropped by 12cm in 3days. The hydraulic conductivity of the soil is 0.70m/day, the equivalent depth is 2m, while the equivalent drainable porosity is 0.05. The water table mid-way between drains is initially 30cm below the soil surface. If the depth of the drain to the drain axis is one meter. Find the drain spacing. (10)
