Abstract

The flow into interceptor drains, located in an aquifer bounded by water standing at different levels in two parallel vertical ditches which extend in depth to a horizontal floor on which the aquifer rests, and the discharge into the downstream ditch are shown to be related to the water levels in the ditches by a modified form of Dupuit's formula. For the case of an aquifer resting on an inclined impermeable floor, seepage analysis gives an approximate expression which is an extended form of that obtained without the inclusion of interceptor drains. Hele-Shaw analogue results are used to give experimental confirmation of the theoretical relationships.
