Question: Assume a one - dimensional rectangular soil column having a depth of 5 0 m and a constant width of 1 0 m , n

Assume a one-dimensional rectangular soil column having a depth of 50 m and a constant
width of 10 m, n =0.25,24 m/hr, and the length of the column is 1000 m. Flow rate Q =600
m3/hr and is supplied at the left boundary. a) Compute time take to travel for a particle released
in the left to reach the right boundary (distance of 1000 m)? b) How will the transport time
change, if you doubled the conductivity? c) How will the transport time change if you doubled
the porosity? d) Find the total head loss across the column under these two soil conditions? e) If
the head in the inlet boundary (left boundary) is 125 m, what is the value of the head must be at
250 away from the inlet point under the two hydraulic conductivity conditions? f) Will the value
of head at 250 m away from the inlet point change if we only doubled the porosity? Ans for (a)
should be about 7 to 10 days.
