Question: Problem 7 . You are flowing water from the side of a canal into a large, rectilinear gravel pack ( K = 5 m ?

Problem 7. You are flowing water from the side of a canal into a large, rectilinear gravel pack
(K=5m? day) with a height of 2.1 m (assume that this is the total head at the sand pack/canal
contact) in order to filter it. To deliver the water, we need 2 m of head after running through the
filter. Water must remain in the sand pack for an average of 6 hours to be 'filtered'. Assume that
the sand has a porosity of 0.29. Find the thickness of the sand pack, assuming that the effective
height of water across the sand pack is 2.05 m . Hint. You will manipulate the seepage velocity
and specific discharge equations. Answer in meters.
