Extension of Vedernikov's graph for seepage from canals

Ground Water. 2001 Mar-Apr;39(2):272-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1745-6584.2001.tb02308.x.

Abstract

In this investigation, using previously derived equations by Vedernikov and Morel-Seytoux, closed-form solutions have been obtained to compute the seepage from a slit and a strip. Also, a graphical solution as an extension of Vedernikov's graph has been presented for computing quantity of seepage from triangular, rectangular, and trapezoidal canals. The solution replaces approximately the cumbersome evaluation of improper integrals with unknown implicit transformation variables.
