Question: Figure below shows a 5 0 0 m long levee made of compacted clay that impounds water in a reservoir as shown in the figure

Figure below shows a 500 m long levee made of compacted clay that impounds water in a reservoir as shown in the figure below. There is a 1 m thick (into the page) sand seam continuing along the entire length of the levee at 10-degree inclination to the horizontal, which connects the reservoir and the ditch. The hydraulic conductivity of the sand is 2.6 X 10*3 cm/s.
a)(10 mark) Determine the volume of water that flows into the ditch every day.
b)(10 mark) Calculate piezometric head at Point A shown below (m)
