Let D = 14 m be the diametre of well and H = 15 m be the height of well .
 
Volume V of the earth obtained by digging the well .
 
V = ( π / 4 ) D2 H = ( π / 4 ) × 142 × 15  m3 = 735 π m3
 
Let h be the height of embankment .
 
Volume of embankment = π ( 142 - 72 ) h = 735 π
 
( 142 - 72 ) h = 735
 
h = 735 / ( 21 * 7 ) = 5 m
