For a homogeneous earth dam 52 m high and 2m free board, a flow net was constructed and following results were obtained: Number of equipotential drops= 25 Number of flow channels 4 The dam has a horizontal filter of 40m length at its downstream end. If coefficient of permeability of the dam material is 3x 10 cm/sec, then find the discharge per meter length of the dam.
