Principles of Seepage

In hydrology, when water flows down in a pore or crack of unsaturated soil due to gravity, the deep layer of soil is called seepage. It is the slow movement of water in the soil layer. Seepage is mainly found near hydraulic structures and is responsible for the stability of earthen-type hydraulic structures.

Q2: A) At the beginning of a given day a reservoir has a surface area 30 Km². The inflow to the reservoir during the day was measured to be 80m/s and the reservoir outflow was measured as 15m/s. In addition, the day was dry and the seepage is 10% of the inflow. Assume the area of the reservoir does not change significantly by the end of the day. Determine the reservoir evaporation in mm/day where the reservoirs level is decreased 2 cm?

An aquifer slopes away from a river, as shown in Fig. 3-7 The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer which is 20 ft thick is known to be 0.2 ft/day. The water is 20 ft deep in the river, and the bottom of the trench is 30 ft below the bottom of the river and 600 ft away from the edge of the river. The trench is 40 ft deep. Will water flow out of the trench without pumping? If so, what will be the rate of flow?
