Saturated Thickness of Aquifer when Coefficient of Storage for Unconfined Aquifer is Considered Formula Elements

Variables
Saturated Thickness of Aquifer
Saturated Thickness of Aquifer is the vertical distance between the top of the saturated zone and the base of the aquifer, which is typically defined by an impermeable layer or boundary.
Symbol: Bs
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Coefficient of Storage for Unconfined Aquifer
Coefficient of Storage for Unconfined Aquifer is a dimensionless measure that represents the volume of water taken into storage per unit surface area of the aquifer per unit change in the head.
Symbol: S''
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Specific Yield
Specific Yield is the amount of water that can be extracted from an aquifer per unit of its volume. It is a crucial parameter in assessing the sustainable yield of groundwater resources.
Symbol: Sy
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Unit Weight of Fluid
Unit Weight of Fluid is the weight of a fluid per unit volume. For water at standard conditions (4°C), fundamental for analyzing and designing various water-related structures and systems.
Symbol: γ
Measurement: Specific WeightUnit: kN/m³
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Compressibility
Compressibility is the measure of how much a material, such as soil or water-bearing formations (aquifers), can decrease in volume under pressure.
Symbol: α
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Porosity of Soil
Porosity of Soil is the ratio of the volume of voids to the total volume of the soil. Porosity is a crucial parameter in hydrology as it influences the movement and storage of water within the soil.
Symbol: η
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Compressibility of Water
Compressibility of Water is the ability of water to decrease in volume under the application of pressure. It is quantified by the bulk modulus of elasticity.
Symbol: β
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
