Rainfall of 2.50m per annum falls on a strip of land 1km wide lying between two parallel canals, one of which (canal A) is 3m higher than the other (canal B). The infiltration rate is 80% of the rainfall and there is no runoff. The aquifer that contains the canals is 10m deep below the level of canal B and both canals fully penetrate it. It is underlain by a horizontal impermeable stratum. Compute the discharge per m length into both canals, assuming their boundaries are vertical, and the aquifer coefficient of permeability is 10m/day.
