Question

Relation between discharge velocity and seepage velocity

Answer 1

The solution is elementary.

seepage velocity is the velocity of groundwater which is calculated using Darcy’s law. It is the velocity at which ground water goes through a porous medium like soil and rocks.

Discharge velocity is the rate of flow of a liquid across a given cross sectional area, though not necessarily into the ground.

Answer 2

Relationship between discharged and seepage velocity:

• Discharge velocity is the volume of water flowing in unit time which is perpendicular to direction flow while Seepage velocity is the actual velocity of water through the soil.

• The relationship between seepage velocity and discharge velocity is as follows:

                     Seepage velocity= (e+1)/e*discharge velocity

Where e is void ratio
