The early Babylonians constructed a canal that runs parallel to a river to irrigate their fields. The river and canal are 275.90 feet apart. The water surface elevation in the canal and river are at +1084.65 feet and +1021.35 feet respectively. A stratum of sand intersects both the river and the canal below their water levels. The sand is 6 feet, and is in between of impervious clay stratum. Calculate the canal's seepage loss in cubic feet per day-mile. Assume hydraulic conductivity of the sand to be 2.95 x (10)^-3 ft/sec.
