The head at the top surface is 4-1= 3m.

We consider Bligh's formula to find the head of the outer boundary


i.e. h= H-l/L*hloss. For e.g. for 4m below point A, head = 3-4/36*1.5=2.84m. Then we iterate for the heads of Sheet Pile
inner points as per FDM.

Here,
Total Head(H) = 4-1 = 3m
Coefficient of permeability(k) = 2*10^-4 cm/s = 2*10^-6m/s
No. of equipotential drops(Nd) = 30
No. of flow channels(Nf) = 7
Discharge = k*H*Nf/Nd

Note: The flow net is shown in the graph paper attached. The flownet might have been exaggerated while drawing the flowlines manually.
