  10. Estimating Spacing using The Hooghoudt Equation i = Drainage Coefficient

  11. For drainage design the following information is available: depth of tile = 1.2 m; depth to water table = 0.8 m; depth to impermeable layer = 7.2 m; drainage coefficient = 0.007 m; hydraulic conductivity = 0.8 m/day. Estimate the required drain spacing

  12. 3 4 8 For drainage design the following information is available: depth of tile = 4 ft; depth to water table = 1 ft; depth to impermeable layer = 12 ft; drainage coefficient = 3/8 inches; hydraulic conductivity = 2 inch/hr. Estimate the required drain spacing
