A canal is cut into a soil with a stratigraphy shown below. Assume flow takes place laterally and vertically through the sides of the canal and vertically below the canal. The vaues of k = ky = k, in each layer are given. a.) What is the equivalent permeability in the horizontal direction through the sides of the canal, in cm/day. b.) What is the equivalent permeability in the vertical directions through the sides of the canal, in cm/day. c.) Determine the equivalent permeability in the vertical directions below the bottom of the canal, in cm/day.
