Problem 4(20 points 20 minutes)
An alluvial formation is in direct hydraulic connection with a river and a canal, and it is underiain by horizontal impervious bottom. The hydraulic conductivity of the porous medium is K=14.5m? day. The value of h1 is 17.6m and the value of h2 is 15.3m. The distance from river to canal L is 525m. There is an average recharge rate of 7mm? day.
(a) What is the average discharge per unit with at x=0m?
(b) What is the average discharge per unit with at x=525m'
(c) Where is the water divide located?
(d) What is the maximum height of the water table?
(e) If the K vulue 151.5m? day, what will happen to the discharge and maximum height of water table? (Just comments without calculation).
