Solution

The correct option is C exit gradient, uplift pressure and seepage quantity
Once a flow net is constructed, its graphical properties can be used to obtain solutions for many seepage problems such as the estimation of seepage losses from reservoirs, determination of seepage pressures, uplift pressures below dams, to check the possibility of piping and many others.
