What is the flow rate through a permeameter with a head drop of 36 m across 6 flow channels, and permeability of 3 m/s?
💡 Hint: Ensure you divide head drop by the number of channels correctly.
A soil layer has a head drop of 25 m with permeability of 2 m/s and you divide it into 5 flow channels. Calculate the total flow.
💡 Hint: Focus on the relationships among the variables.
