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.

Water is flowing in a trapezoidal channel at a rate of Q = 20 m³/s. The critical depth y for such a channel must satisfy the equation: 1 -3 B = 0 where g = 9.81 m/s?, Ac =the cross-sectional area (m?), and B = Q? the width of the channel at the surface (m). For this case, the width and the cross-sectional area can be related to depth y by B = 3 + y and A. = 3y +: Solve for the critical depth using bisection method using the initial guesses x = 0.5 and xu = 2.5.
