The soil at a borrow area is at moisture content of 8.5%and unit weight of 17.5 kN/m3. This soil is used in the construction of a compacted road base where the dry unitweight is 19.5 kN/m3 and the moisture content is 14.0%. Ifthe finished volume of the road base is 120,000 m3, whatwould be the volume of the soil removed from the borrowpit? How much water would be added to the soil from theborrow pit?

Basic Concepts of Water Resource Sustainability

The majority of the earth's surface is composed of water. The water which is available for use by the living beings on earth comes from various water resources. Water resources are the naturally occurring water bodies that are intended to be used by the living beings on earth for drinking and other uses. Water resources provide 3% as freshwater, 97% as saltwater, two-thirds of which are frozen as glaciers and ices. The remaining water which generally doesn't remain frozen are the water resources found underground, precisely known as groundwater. The majority of these water sources act as non-convention sources of power generation, like in hydropower stations.
