No. of rows = 24
No. of sub-rows = 23
#Drains per row = 48
#Drains per sub-row = 47
Total #Drain = 2233
Total length = 13398 m

Cross-section of wick Drain

 Ur = 1 - 1 - Uvr / 1 - Uv
= 1 - 1 - 0.8 / 1 - 0.10
= 0.778

Tr = - 1/8Fm(ND)In(1-Ur)
= - 1/8x2.25xIn(1-0.778)
= 0.423

t₂ - 1/2t1 = Trd²e/Cr
= 0.423x1.06²/4.5x10ˉ⁸
= 1.04x10⁷
s = 120 days
t₂ = 120+105/2
= 172 days
