Question
An excavation is proposed for a square area near the bend of a river as shown in Fig. P6.9. It is expected that the flow of water into the excavation will come through the silt layer. Pumping tests reveal an average horizontal hydraulic conductivity of 2 x 10 cm/s in the silt layer. The excavation has to be kept dry. Determine the flow rate (q) into the excavation. 12.8 m River 8 m Average width 10.4 m Excavation Plan Slo 4 m Excavation Silt Cross section a-a. Not to scale
