Agricultural Engineering > GATE 2013 > Groundwater Flow
Two parallel canals 50 m apart fully penetrate a homogeneous unconfined aquifer resting on a horizontal impermeable layer. The aquifer has a hydraulic conductivity of 3 m day^{-1} and an effective porosity of 0.25. One-dimensional steady groundwater flow occurs from the upper canal to the lower canal with the height of water levels in the canals 10 m and 8.5 m from the aquifer bottom, respectively. If a sediment layer of 4 cm thick with hydraulic conductivity of 1.2 ร— 10^{-2} m day^{-1} is ultimately deposited on the inflow face, the groundwater discharge per 1000 m width between the two canals in m^3 day^{-1} will be _______________

Correct : 10.5
