Question: Consider a water - saturated, homogeneous, isotropic, vertical cross section ABCDA with upper boundary AB , basal boundary DC , left - hand boundary AD

Consider a water-saturated, homogeneous, isotropic, vertical cross section ABCDA with upper
boundary AB, basal boundary DC, left-hand boundary AD and right-hand boundary BC. The cross-
section has a trapetzoidal shape. The elevations of the bottom points D and C are 0m, A is 100m, and
B is 130 m. The distance between D and C is 200 m. Let AD, DC and BC be impermeable and let AB
represent a water table of constant slope (on which the hydraulic head equals the elevation). Draw a
quantitatively accurate flow net for this case. Label the equipotential lines with their correct h value
