A canal and a stream run parallel to each other at a separation distance of 500m. both of them completely penetrate an unconfined aquifer (K= 3m/day) located above a horizontal impervious bed. The aquifer forms the separation land and mass between the two water bodies. The water surface elevations in the canal and the stream are 5m and 15m, the datum being horizontal. Estimate the following:

The infiltration rate, in cm per year, that will create a water table divide at a distance of 200m from the canal,
The elevation of the water table divide, in meters
