A drain pipe 30 cm diameter lies beneath an earth dam. The pipe was partially clogged with sand. The discharge of the pipe was 300 lit/day when the difference between the dam up stream and down stream water level was 20 cm. If the permeability of the sand was estimated to be 0.01 cm/sec, what should be the clogged length? Drain pipe Sand Th=20 m
