Question: Problem 3 ( 5 0 Points ) The hydraulic head referred below is the total head. Estimate it at Points A , B and C

Problem 3(50 Points)
The hydraulic head referred below is the total head. Estimate it at Points A, B and C. Also
estimate the rate of flow if Liters/day. You may use analytical approach or Numerical
approach. Make sure you present your answer in the units I have aksed for or you will get a
reduced grade.
Present your answers here:
Total heat at A,HA=
mm
Total heat at B,HB=
mm
Total heat at C,HC=
mm
Rate of Flow through the 3 soils, Q=
Liters/Day
A soil filled tube with square cross-section (10cm10cm) is shown in Fig. 1. Three soils are
contained in the tube: A, B, and C. Water is supplied to the influent and effluent reservoirs in a
manner that maintains a constant difference (30cm) in the elevations of the water levels. The
hydraulic conductivities of the soils are as follows: A-1.010-2cms,B-3.010-3cms, and C-
4.910-4cms. Find the flow rate though the soil in L/d. Note that 1m3=1000L.
