Question

A landfill's leachate collection system is designed and constructed as follows: drainage path (L) = 150 ft; hydraulic conductivity of the drainage media (k) = 0.01 cm/sec; and slope = 5%. If the leachate impingement rate is 1,000 gallons per acre per day (gpad), what is the maximum head on the liner predicted using the Giroud Equation (inches)?
