Whereas;
S =Spacing of the tile drain.
a = Depth of impervious layer from the center of drain.
b = maximum height of drained water table above the impervious layer.
X = any distance from the center of drain.
y = depth of water table above the impervious layer.
Yo is depth of water table at x distance above the center of drain.
V= discharge per unity area.
q = discharge per unit length.
K =coefficient of permeability.
Show that a), Q =

Solution
From

qx = k

.i

Where k is hydraulic conductivity of the soil drained and qx is the unit discharge at any x
distance.
Also to determine the unit discharge qx at any distance late say X.

Consider a horizontal distance

Since unit discharge,

with a unit discharge q

qx = q( ) ..ii

Since qx = qx hence equate equation (i) and equation (ii)

qx = qx ,

= q( )
