Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a soil with hydraulic conductivity of 10 cm/s, calculate the discharge (Q) through an area of 1 m² with a hydraulic gradient of 0.01.
💡 Hint: Convert units if needed and remember the formula.
If a drainage system is designed to handle 5 m³/day and the soil's K is 0.2 cm/s, what area is needed at a hydraulic gradient of 0.005?
💡 Hint: Convert your discharge rate to consistent units.
