Subtopic: Planning, design and layout of surface and sub-surface drainage systems
Question Statement:
In Hooghoudt's steady-state drain spacing formula $S^2 = \frac{8 K_2 d m + 4 K_1 m^2}{q}$, for an impervious floor located exactly at the drain level ($d = 0$), the formula simplifies to $S = m \sqrt{\frac{4 K_1}{q}}$. If $m = 1.0\text{ m}$, hydraulic conductivity $K_1 = 1.2\text{ m/day}$, and steady recharge $q = 0.003\text{ m/day}$, calculate the drain spacing $S$ in $\text{meters}$.
