Problem

Water from a storm drain flows over an outfall onto a porous bed that absorbs the water at a uniform vertical velocity of 8 mm/s, as shown in Fig. P3.19. The system is 5 m deep into the paper. Find the length LL of the bed that will completely absorb the storm water. (Initial depth = 20 cm, inflow velocity = 2 m/s.)
