Question:
The hydraulic conductivity of a 100cm long cylindrical core is estimated as 1.2cm/min when hydraulic head difference is 20cm in an experimental setup. If the effective porosity of the core is 20%, then, assuming steady state Darcy flow, the average interstitial velocity of groundwater through the core is _____m/day. (Round off to two decimal places)
