Q3)
A)The Figure below shows a long pile wall driven in sand with Coefficient of permeability ,K=
0.05cm/sec.it is required to:
1.Estimate the max. possible value of dimension h, where ∆h=1.2.
2.Calculate the seepage loss (m3/day) per meter of wall.

12.8m
B) The depth of an confined aquifer is 12m .A well of 15 cm diameter is bored up to the top of this aquifer.
The radius of influence for the aquifer may be taken as 100m,Find the ratio of the discharge from this well to
that of a fully penetrated well?

Q4)
A) Find out the time required to irrigate a strip of area of 100*10 m by a stream of discharge of 0.05
m3/s. Average depth of water to be applied may be assumed as as 10cm and the average rate of
infiltration as 8cm/hour?

B) Determine the Transmissibility of 35cm well penetrates 50m below static water level (GWT) .After a
long period of pumping at a rate of 2300 lpm, the drawdowns in the observation wells at 25m and 37m
from the pumped well are 1.5m and 0.7m, respectively.

Q5)
A) Calculate the width of concrete dam (w) that is necessary to prevent the dam from sliding. The unit weight
of the concrete is 150 Ib/ft3 and the coefficient of friction between the base of the dam and the foundation is µ=
0.42.use the factor of safety against sliding (F.S) and γwater =62.4 Ib/ft3. Will it also be safe against overturning?

B) Choose the min. number of Furrow /set of field to check design of furrow if max. Permissible
discharge is 10.7 L/s and total supply discharge is 95L/s.
