A V-notch-shaped bed of trough with a 30" diameter receives backwashing water from a filter layer with a 2 m width and 3 m length. The breadth of the trough is about equal to its depth. Backwashing occurs at a rate of 0.6 m/min. Construct the trough with a maximum flow rate equal to the backwashing rate

A V-notch shaped bed of trough with a 30" diameter receives backwashing water from a filter layer with a 2 m width and 3 m length. The trough's breadth is generally equal to its depth. Backwashing occurs at a pace of 0.6 meters per minute. Construct the trough with a maximum flow rate equal to the rate of backwashing.
A bed of trough has V-notch shape with 30" receives backwashing water from filter layer with 2 m width and 3 m length. The width of trough equais approximately its depth. The backwashing rate is 0.6 m/min. Design the trough assuming maximum flow in the trough equal to backwashing rate.
A 1.5 hr storm of intensity 25 mm/hr occurs over a basin for which the Horton’s equation is established as f = 6 + 16 e –2t. Determine the depth of infiltration in the first 45 min and the average infiltration rate for the first 75 min
For a homogeneous earth dam 32 m high and 2 m free board, a flow net was constructed with four flow channels. The number of potential drops was 20.

For a small drainage area, the infiltration rate at the start of rainfall storm was record to be 90 mm/hr and decreased exponentially to a constant rate of 8 mm/hr after 2.5 hr. The total infiltration during 2.5 hr was 50 mm. Develop the Horton's equation for the infiltration rate at any time t < 2.5 hr
A catchment soil has a Horton infiltration parameter: f0=240 mm/hr, fc=30 mm/hr and k=0.2 min^-1. Calculate the infiltration rate right after two hours. Assuming a rain of constant intensity of 50 mm/hr occurs and lasts fo 3 hours, calculate the amount of rain that infiltrates into the soil.
