Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a soil profile with one permeable and one impermeable layer, draw the expected flow net and identify the boundary conditions.
💡 Hint: Think about how water can or cannot move through these layers.
How might the flow net change if the direction of water flow is reversed in a soil with multiple layers? Discuss the implications.
💡 Hint: Consider how the properties of flow and head define the net shape.
