Principles of Seepage

In hydrology, when water flows down in a pore or crack of unsaturated soil due to gravity, the deep layer of soil is called seepage. It is the slow movement of water in the soil layer. Seepage is mainly found near hydraulic structures and is responsible for the stability of earthen-type hydraulic structures.

A channel has been designed to convey clear water to a fish hatchery. The design calls for aflow depth of 2.0 ft and a velocity of 2.0 ft/s. The channel is very wide so the side effects canbe neglected and the hydraulic radius taken as equal to the depth. It is to be constructed insand which has a median diameter ds = 0.915 mm (0.003 ft). For a flat bed in this materialthe Darcy-Weisbach friction factor is estimated to be f = 0.0185 and the required channelslope is S = 0.000145. The water temperature is 20°C and the kinematic viscosity υυ is = 1.08x 10-5 ft2/s. The specific gravity of the sand is 2.65. Clear water is admitted to the channeland it is imperative that no material be scoured from the bed since any sand in the hatcherywill result in instantaneous death of all the fish. Using Shields' diagram, determine if theexisting design is adequate to deliver clear water to the hatchery.
