Question: Consider a sub - irrigation system that supplies water to a crop via horizontal groundwater flow from parallel irrigation canals 3 7 m apart. Hydraulic

Consider a sub-irrigation system that supplies water to a crop via horizontal groundwater flow from parallel irrigation canals 37 m apart. Hydraulic conductivity of the field is 6 m/d and there is an impermeable layer at a depth of 3 m, which coincides with the canal bottom.
If crop water demand is equal to 6 mm/d, calculate the required water depth in the canals to keep the water table at most 150 cm below land surface.
