Change in Piezometric Head Formula Elements

Variables
Change in Piezometric Head
Change in Piezometric Head is the difference in hydraulic head between two points within an aquifer or groundwater system.
Symbol: dh
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Velocity of Flow at Radial Distance
Velocity of Flow at Radial Distance is the speed at which groundwater moves through a porous medium at a specific radial distance from a well or other point of interest.
Symbol: Vr
Measurement: SpeedUnit: cm/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Change in Radial Distance
Change in Radial Distance is the variation in distance from a pumping well to a specific point in an aquifer over time.
Symbol: dr
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Coefficient of Permeability
Coefficient of Permeability is the measure of the ability of a porous material (such as soil or rock) to transmit fluids through it. It quantifies how easily water can flow through the material.
Symbol: K
Measurement: SpeedUnit: cm/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
