A horizontal column of 100 cm length and 10 cm height is packed with a uniform soil with a saturated hydraulic conductivity of 4×10–5 cm/s. Then, the uppermost 1.0 cm is replaced with a soil with a saturated hydraulic conductivity of 2.2×10–7 cm/s. Therefore, the horizontal column has two horizontal layers. The pressure head is 20 cm at the left end (X = 0 cm; inflow boundary) of the column and 150 cm at the right end (X = 100 cm; outflow boundary). Flow is horizontal and steady state. For horizontal flow, the pressure head is the only driving force (gravitational head = 0). The volumetric water content of both soils is equal to the porosity and is 0.45 cm3/cm3. (A) Determine the effective saturated hydraulic conductivity of the layered soil column. (B) Calculate the Darcy’s flux through the layered soil column. (C) Calculate the Darcy’s flux in the top and bottom layers of the soil column.
