A sand layer of 3 m thick lies on a 3 m clay deposit. The water table is below 2 m of the ground surface. There is a 1 m capillary rise above the water table. Below the clay, there is a 2 m of a sand layer that lies on a bedrock. Piezometers installed at the bottom of the clay layer show an artesian pressure, the piezometric level being 1 m above the ground surface. The saturated and dry unit weight of the sand is 18 and 16 kN/m3, respectively. The saturated unit weight of the clay is 20 kN/m3. An embankment is going to be placed at the ground surface and will apply a 30 kPa uniform surcharge.

An artifical recharge pond is located in a sandy area (Kv = 10 m/day; porosity = 30%). The pond covers a large area. A flood wave fills the pond rapidly to a water level of 5.5 meters above the sandy bottom. By controlling the inflow and outflow the water level is maintained at this elevation. During previous operations, the bottom of the pond was covered by a layer of fine material 0.5 meters thick with Kv = 0.1 m/day and a porosity of 50%. Assuming infiltration is vertically downward only, determine the position of the wetting front from the recharge pond into an initially dry soil as a function of time (derive an equation). Assume a very deep water table. What is the infiltration after a long time?
