Transmissibility in Groundwater Hydrology Formulas

The Transmissibility is defined as effective hydraulic conductivity of an aquifer or other water-bearing unit multiplied by the thickness of that unit. And is denoted by T. Transmissibility is usually measured using the Square Meter per Second for Kinematic Viscosity. Note that the value of Transmissibility is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Transmissibility?

The Transmissibility is defined as effective hydraulic conductivity of an aquifer or other water-bearing unit multiplied by the thickness of that unit. Transmissibility is usually measured using the Square Meter per Second for Kinematic Viscosity. Note that the value of Transmissibility is always positive.

Can the Transmissibility be negative?

No, the Transmissibility, measured in Kinematic Viscosity cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Transmissibility?

Transmissibility is usually measured using the Square Meter per Second[m²/s] for Kinematic Viscosity. Square Meter per Hour[m²/s], Square Centimeter per Second[m²/s], Square Millimeter per Second[m²/s] are the few other units in which Transmissibility can be measured.
