In a drainage system, closed drains are placed with their centres 1.8 m below the ground level. The highest position of the drained water table is 1.4 m below the ground level. The impervious layer is at a depth of 5.8 m below the ground level. The average annual rainfall is 75 cm and permeability is 2 x 105 m/sec. If it is assumed that 1% of annual average rainfall is drained per day, then the spacing of drains is

Hydro lake has a surface area of 70.80 ha. For the month of April, the inflow was 1.5m/s. The dam regulated the outflow (discharge) from Hydro Lake to be 1.25 m/s. If the precipitation recorded for the month waws 7.62cm and storage volume increased by an estimated 650,000m2, what is the estimated evaporation in m and cm? Assume that no water infiltrates out of the bottom of the Hydro Lake.
Water table in a canal command receives a recharge at the rate 2.5 mm/day. Sub-surface ditch drains at a spacing of 2 km are provided for the sub-surface drainage. Estimate the maximum rise of the water table at steady state. Given: hydraulic conductivity of the soil = 10 m/day, depth of the impervious layer below initial water table position = 20 m. Assume the ditches to be fully penetrating.

A V-notch shaped bed of trough with a 30" diameter receives backwashing water from a filter layer with a 2 m width and 3 m length. The trough's breadth is generally equal to its depth. Backwashing occurs at a pace of 0.6 meters per minute. Construct the trough with a maximum flow rate equal to the rate of backwashing.

An asphalt pavement drains into a rectangular concrete channel. The catchment surface has an average slope of 1.0%, and the distance from the catchment boundary to the drain is 30m. The drainage channel is 60 m long, 20 cm wide, 25 cm deep, and has a slope of 0.6%. For an effective rainfall rate of 50 mm/h, the flow rate in the channel is estimated to be 0.02 m³/s. Estimate the time of concentration of the catchment.

Estimate the constant flow rate of withdrawal from a 15 km² reservoir in a month (30days) during which the reservoir level dropped by 1 m despite an average inflow into the reservoir of 0.95 * 10 m³ /day. During the month, the average seepage loss from the reservoir was 4.5cm, the total precipitation on the reservoir was 19.5cm, and the total evaporation was 7.5cm.
Solve the infiltration loss at t = 25 min in the linear function boundary. Given data:fo = 300mm/hrfc = 60mm/hrassume k = 4.8/hr
A canal and a stream run parallel to each other at a separation distance of 400 m. Both of them completely penetrate an unconfined aquifer (K = 3.0 m/day) located above a horizontal impervious bed. The aquifer forms the separation landmass between the two water bodies. The water surface elevations in the canal and the stream are 5.0 and 3.0. i. the uniform infiltration rate that will create a water table divide at a distance of 100 m from the canal ii. the elevation of the water table divide iii. the seepage discharge into the two water bodies iv.
