Flow through any Square using Darcy's law for Groundwater Flow Nets Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total discharge = Hydraulic Conductivity*Distance Between Flow Lines*Aquifer Thickness*(Difference in Head Between Equipotential Lines/Distance between Equipotential Lines)
Q = K*w*b*(dh/dl)
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Total discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Total discharge is defined as a measure of the quantity of any fluid flow over unit time. The quantity may be either volume or mass.
Hydraulic Conductivity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Hydraulic Conductivity depends on the size and arrangement of the water-transmitting openings and on the dynamic characteristics of the fluid.
Distance Between Flow Lines - (Measured in Meter) - Distance Between Flow Lines in the series of Flow net. Flow lines represent the path of flow along which the water will seep through the soil.
Aquifer Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Aquifer Thickness (at Midpoint between Equipotential lines) or otherwise is the thickness of aquifer in which the pore spaces of rock forming the aquifer may or may not be with water.
Difference in Head Between Equipotential Lines - (Measured in Meter) - Difference in Head Between Equipotential Lines. An equipotential line is a line along which the electric potential is constant.
Distance between Equipotential Lines - (Measured in Meter) - Distance between equipotential lines. Equipotential or isopotential in mathematics and physics refers to a region in space where every point in it is at the same potential.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Hydraulic Conductivity: 2.5 Meter per Second --> 2.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Distance Between Flow Lines: 6 Meter --> 6 Meter No Conversion Required
Aquifer Thickness: 15 Meter --> 15 Meter No Conversion Required
Difference in Head Between Equipotential Lines: 14 Meter --> 14 Meter No Conversion Required
Distance between Equipotential Lines: 21 Meter --> 21 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q = K*w*b*(dh/dl) --> 2.5*6*15*(14/21)

Evaluating ... ...

Q = 150

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

150 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

150 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Total discharge
