An earthen dam is constructed on an impermeable bedrock layer. It is 550 ft across (i.e., the distance from the water in the reservoir to the tailwaters below the dam is 550 ft). The average hydraulic conductivity of the material used in the dam construction is 0.77 ft/day. The water in the reservoir behind the dam is 35 ft deep and the tailwaters below the dam are 20 ft deep. Compute the volume of water that seeps from the reservoir, through the dam, and into the tailwaters per a 100-ftwide strip of the dam in cubic feet per day.
