How to Calculate and Solve for Distance from Origin to Water Divide in case of Infiltration | Flow Lines
Last Updated on April 8, 2024
The image above represents the distance from origin to water divide in case of infiltration. To calculate the distance from origin to water divide in case of infiltration, five essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Head at the Origin (h1), Head at L (h2), Hydraulic Compressibility (K), Flow Length and Recharge Rate (w).
d = L/2 – K/w(h1² – h2² / 2L)
Where:
d = Distance from Origin to Water Divide in case of Infiltration
h1 = Head at the Origin
h2 = Head at L
K = Hydraulic Compressibility
L = Flow Length
w = Recharge Rate
Let’s solve an example;
Find the distance from origin to water divide in case of infiltration when the head at the origin is 21, head at L is 11, hydraulic compressibility is 32, flow length is 10 and recharge rate is 18.
This implies that;
h1 = Head at the Origin = 21
h2 = Head at L = 11
K = Hydraulic Compressibility = 32
L = Flow Length = 10
w = Recharge Rate = 18
d = L/2 – K/w(h1² – h2² / 2L)
d = 10/2 – 32/18(21² – 11² / 2(10))
That is, d = 5 – 1.77(441 – 121 / 20)
d = 5 – 1.77(320 / 20)
d = 5 – 1.77(16)
So, d = 5 – 28.44
d = -23.44
Therefore, the distance from origin to water divide in case of infiltration is – 23.44.
