Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a permeable soil sample with k = 5 m/day, calculate the expected flow rate through a 100m long sample with a head drop of 20m.
💡 Hint: Plug the variables into the formula correctly.
A construction site needs to estimate the flow change if the head drop increases from 2m to 10m across 8 flow channels, assuming permeability remains at 15 m/day.
💡 Hint: Pay attention to how head changes impact flow.
