Seepаge intо аn excаvatiоn near a shallоw foundation trench (show your calculation steps). A contractor is excavating a foundation trench for a retaining wall in a sandy layer. During excavation, groundwater begins to seep laterally through the sand toward the open trench. For a simplified estimate, assume 1-D horizontal flow through the sand toward the excavation. (6 points)Given:• Hydraulic conductivity, K = 3.5 × 10⁻⁴ m/s• Hydraulic gradient, i = 0.015• Cross-sectional area normal to flow, A = 8 m²a) Compute the groundwater discharge, Q, into the excavation using Darcy’s Law.b) Briefly state (1–2 sentences) what would happen to Q if the hydraulic gradient increased during excavation, and explain why this matters for excavation stability or dewatering.
