The Laboratory Apparatus shown maintains a
constant head in both the upper and lower
reservoirs. The soil sample is a silty sand with a
hydraulic conductivity K = 5 x 10-3 cm/sec. and a
moisture content of 18.5%. Specific gravity of soil
sample = 2.70. Compute the seepage velocity.
Determine the time required for the plug of water to
pass through the soil. Compute the discharge of
water.
