A double wall sheet pile coffer dam retains a height of water 9 m on one side. A flow net  constructed for this structure, driven into a pervious deposit overlain by an impervious  ledge, consists of five flow channels and fifteen potential drops. The length of the coffer  dam is 90 meters. If the coefficient of permeability of the pervious deposit is 10^–2 mm/s. Determine the seepage in cubic meters per day.
