State the assumption in Dupuiť's solution. Show that using this assumption, Casagrande's confocal parabola (as shown) to the seepage through blanket drain (a = 180 degrees) yields flow rate of q = kyo where k is the coefficient of permeability and yo = Vh² + d², corresponding to a parabola with foci at a, = yo/2, and y = h at x = d where the point (d, h) are the coordinates of the theoretical entry point on the upstream phase of the slope embankment.
