Section 5: Irrigation and Drainage Engineering

Groundwater Hydrology

Subtopic: Groundwater movement; Darcy's Law

Question Statement:

Water flows through an aquifer of porosity $n = 0.25$ with a Darcy discharge velocity of $v = 0.20\text{ m/day}$. Calculate the actual average linear seepage velocity ($v_s = v / n$) in $\text{m/day}$.

Answer Key:

0.8

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$v_s = \frac{v}{n} = \frac{0.20\text{ m/day}}{0.25} = 0.80\text{ m/day}$
