A dam is to be constructed on a semi-permeable foundation as shown below. The base of the dam is 60 m (196.8 ft) wide. The aquifer is 10.0 m (32.8 ft) thick and has a hydraulic conductivity of 0.5 m/day (1.64 ft/day). Compute the seepage rate under the dam for a headwater depth of 10.0 m (32.8 ft) and a tailwater depth of 2.0 m (6.56 ft).
