Question 65

GGNAT2 marksNeeds review
A soil mass comprises two horizontal layers (of equal thickness and equal width) stacked one above the other. The hydraulic conductivities of the two layers are 5 × 10⁻² cm/s and 3 × 10⁻² cm/s. Considering Darcian flow of water and same hydraulic gradient for both the layers, the effective hydraulic conductivity of the soil mass in cm/s is __________ (rounded off to two decimal places).
