Intrinsic Permeability in Hydraulics and Waterworks Formulas

Intrinsic Permeability or Specific Permeability is a measure of relative ease with which porous medium can transmit fluid under potential gradient and is property of medium alone. And is denoted by K_o. Intrinsic Permeability is usually measured using the Square Meter for Area. Note that the value of Intrinsic Permeability is always negative.
