Question: 4 . A ( 5 0 0 - mathrm { m } ) long levee made of compacted clay impounds water in

4. A \(500-\mathrm{m}\) long levee made of compacted clay impounds water in a reservoir as shown in Figure 4. A sandy-silt seam of average thickness 1.0 m (measured in the direction in the vertical direction) cuts across the otherwise impermeable clay. The average hydraulic conductivity of the sandy-silt seam is \(1.5\times 10^{-5}\mathrm{~cm}/\mathrm{sec}\). Determine the volume of water that flows into the ditch every day.
