Calculating the flow rate of water through the soil beneath a concrete dam is crucial for maintaining the dam's stability and safety. This process requires a comprehensive understanding of seepage, which describes how water interacts with and moves through the soil. Using an Excel spreadsheet, you can streamline the calculation by inputting soil properties (such as permeability), hydraulic gradients, and cross-sectional areas to compute the flow rate through Darcy's Law. Excel’s formulas and data visualization tools allow for clear graphical representation of seepage calculations.
