Hydraulic Conductivity in Groundwater Hydrology Formulas

The Hydraulic Conductivity refers to the property of porous materials, such as soils and rocks, that describes the ease with which a fluid can move through the pore or fractures within the material. And is denoted by K. Hydraulic Conductivity is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Hydraulic Conductivity is always negative.

FAQ

What is the Hydraulic Conductivity?

The Hydraulic Conductivity refers to the property of porous materials, such as soils and rocks, that describes the ease with which a fluid can move through the pore or fractures within the material. Hydraulic Conductivity is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Hydraulic Conductivity is always negative.

Can the Hydraulic Conductivity be negative?

Yes, the Hydraulic Conductivity, measured in Speed can be negative.

What unit is used to measure Hydraulic Conductivity?

Hydraulic Conductivity is usually measured using the Meter per Second[m/s] for Speed. Meter per Minute[m/s], Meter per Hour[m/s], Kilometer per Hour[m/s] are the few other units in which Hydraulic Conductivity can be measured.
