The soil profile below a lake with water level at elevation = 0 m and lake bottom at elevation = -10 m is shown in the figure, where k is the permeability coefficient. A piezometer (stand pipe) installed in the sand layer shows a reading of +10 m elevation. Assume that the piezometric head is uniform in the sand layer. The quantity of water (in m3/s) flowing into the lake from the sand layer through the silt layer per unit area of the lake bed is:
A
1.5 x 10-6
B
2.0 x 10-6
C
1.0 x 10-6
D
0.5 x 10-6

Correct : c
