Question
2.8 A 500 m long levee made of compacted clay impounds water in a reservoir as shown in Figure P2.8. There is a 1 m thick (measured in the direction perpendicular to the seam) sand seam continuing along the entire length of the levee, at 10° inclination to the horizontal, which connects the reser- voir and the ditch. The hydraulic conductivity of the sand is 2.6 x 10³ cm/s. Determine the volume of water that flows into the ditch every day.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Given data-

Hydraulic conductivity (k) = 2.6*10-3 cm/sec.

theata = 10o

z1 = 38 m

z2 = 28 m 

thickness of seam (t) = 1 m 

length of levee ( l ) = 500m 

To determine the volume of water that flows in to the ditch everyday-
