Computation of Depth and Spacing
Formula :
S = (4kH/v)[2(de)+H]
de = d
1+ 8d/πS In 8d/π3r
where:
S = drain spacing
k = hydraulic conductivity
H = vertical distance of water table subway of two drains
de = equivalent depth of drain
v = replenishment rate
d = distance between impermeable layer to the drain
r = effective radius of drain (includes gravel envelope)

Computation:
Water requirement (W.R) = ET/Ea
Replenishment rate (v) = 10% (W.R)
Vertical distance of water table subway of two drains (H) = drain depth - lower water table depth

Given:
d ave. depth = (12 ft * 1 m/3.28 ft = 3.65 m )
H = 6 -3 = (3 ft * 1 m/3.28 ft)=0.789 m
r = 12 in ( pipe diameter) + 6 in ( gravel envelope) = 18 in (25.4 mm/in)(1 m/1000 mm) = 0.4572 m
v = 10 % x 10 mm/day x ( 1 m/1000 mm) = 0.001 m/day
average hydraulic conductivity:
k1 = 1.19 in/hr x (25.4 mm/in)x (1 m/1000 mm) (24 hr/day) = 0.7254 m/day
k2 = 1.465 in/hr x (25.4 mm/in)x (1 m/1000 mm) (24 hr/day) = 0.89 m/day
k3= 0.8 in/hr x (25.4 mm/in)x (1 m/1000 mm) (24 hr/day) = 0.49 m/day
k4= 0.7 in/hr x (25.4 mm/in)x (1 m/1000 mm) (24 hr/day) = 0.41 m/day
