I. Solve the following:


1. Find the hydraulic gradient, flow rate, volume of water percolated per meter width
per hour through the permeable soil layer shown in the figure given that k = 0.08
cm/sec for the permeable layer, calculate the rate of seepage through it if H = 8 m, H1 = 3 m,
h = 4 m, L = 50m and α = 8o.
2. Given the stratified soil shown in the figure, the coefficient of permeability are 3k 1 = k2
= 1.5k3 = 2k4
Where k1 = 3.5 x 10-2 cm/sec.
a) Determine the hydraulic gradient.
b) Determine the flow in cm3/sec.
c) Determine the equivalent coefficient of permeability for all layers.

3. Compute for the Coefficient permeability of the well with the given data as shown in the
figure.
