A dam, shown in Figure 5 retains IO m of water. A sheet pile wall (cutoff curtain) on theupstream side, which is used to reduce seepage under the dam, penetrates 7 m into a 20 mthick silty sand stratum. Below the silty sand is a thick deposit of clay. The averagecoefficient of permeability of the silty sand is 2.0 x 10-4 cm/sec. Assume that the siltysand is homogeneous and isotropic.(i) Draw the flow net under the dam.(ii) Calculate the seepage rate, q per meter length of the sheet pile.
