1. Torricelli’s Equation: When the water level falls through a distance Z, the velocity of its flow (v) at depth z, as described by Torricelli’s equation, is equal to the velocity acquired by water due to the fall of water level. 2. Bernoulli’s Equation: In flooded or saturated soil when water moves under hydrostatic pressure […]
