In a soil stratum comprising three layers of equal thickness, where the permeability of the second layer is 50% lower than that of the first layer and the permeability of the third layer is 1/3 that of the first layer. Determine the effective hydraulic conductivity for horizontal flow. Assume permeability of the first layer is k.
