Question: An earthen dam measures 2 0 0 m from the upstream face to the downstream face and is underlain by an impermeable bedrock. The average

An earthen dam measures 200m from the upstream face to the downstream face and is underlain by an impermeable bedrock. The average hydraulic conductivity of the material of which the dam is constructed is 0.065m? day. If the water surface elevations in the reservoir and the tailwater are 25m and 4.5m, respectively, calculate the flow rate of leakage (in m3? day) from the reservoir to the tailwater assuming the dam is 100m wide
