Water flows through a three-soil system placed in a 10 cm-wide square tube. Soil layers are described as follows:

Soil	Thickness (cm)	K (cm/sec)
A	2	0.1
B	1	0.002
C	7	0.0006

Calculated the discharge (q) through each soil and through the system when water flows:
1- Parallel to layering (take head difference = 80 cm and length of all layers = 200 cm). 2- Perpendicular to layering (take head difference = 9 cm)

- In case 2, what would be the head at the middle of Soil “C”?

Water flows at 20 cm^3/sec through a long straight tube that has an inner diameter of 1 cm. As the water flows, a toxin leaches from the tube into the water. At the inner surface of the tube, the toxin attains its saturation concentration, Csat = 2 mM. Fortunately, upon entering the water the toxin also irreversibly degrades into a non-toxic compound; this degradation follows first-order kinetics. Toxin Diffusivity D = 10^-5 cm^2/sec Toxin mass transfer coefficient k = 1.38...
