This video describes the concepts of Hydraulic Conductivity and Transmissivity. I recommend checking the other videos out in this playlist before diving into this one, particularly the following:
• Unconfined Aquifers vs...
• Groundwater Flow Basics

could you please explain more how to determine the area (A)? let say if we have two wells distance between them is 50m and delta h 10m

Thanks for clearing our concepts sir. On a catchment scale how can we practically or empirically know the underground type of aquifer and calculate its hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity. I will be waiting for your response sir

My frog pond with burnt bluff sandstone along boundary line 4'x'8 at 4 feet deep. Only flows little over a gallon a minute out of overflow pipe. Farther down boundary line the seep in white sand layer above spring. It seeps about 5 gallons a minute. One point water runs under top soil but above white sand. I got no measurement of what the water runs under top soil at that point but is about what springs flow. There is a tree stump near that point too, so maybe a spring. The springs I have found come up through rotten tree roots in a sink. My water level of seeps seems very constant over 200 yards even as soil layers change.

Maybe you can make a video about permeability k (lowercase letter). In fact we have that the Hydraulic Conductivity K (uppercase letter) is K = (𝜌 g k) / μ. Thanks for your videos! :D

You explain it well. How can I use vertical electrical sounding results to estimate hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity of an aquifer?

Isn't that equation of k missing the component of hydraulic gradient

Can you give me list of books that helps me to understand calculating hydraulic conductivity using cumulative infiltration method or Auger hole method

@daneandersen8181 4 жыл бұрын

I'm not familiar with those methods... can you give me a little more information? For wells, hydraulic conductivity is estimated by aquifer testing. It sounds like what you're referring to may involve either bench-scale testing or soil science?

Sir, what is the difference between hydraulic conductivity and permeability?

@deltarampock5978 5 жыл бұрын

@Google Genuine Hydraulic conductivity is explaining and measuring how a Fluid able to flow While permeability is explaining and measuring how a rock able to leting fluid to flow Permeability unit is "Darcy", while Hydraulic Conductivity unit is "m/day" or else. Hydraulic Conducitivity is depended on Viscosity, Type of Fluid, and Permeability, while Permeability isn't depend on those.

Yes! I will get around to that for sure

The formula needs to modify slightly, actually u have forgot put the I, the formula should be like , K=Q/AI, thank u

@daneandersen8181 5 жыл бұрын

You're right, but in this example we are saying i=1, so it drops out of the equation. But yes, it is important to note i (hydraulic gradient) is part of this equation.

The relationship between hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity is not getting very clear. Could you please bring out that in an easier way?

@daneandersen8181 5 жыл бұрын

It's kind of confusing. Transmissivity is just hydraulic conductivity multiplied by the height of the aquifer, but a better way to think about it is that transmissivity describes how much water will move through the TOTAL aquifer body, while hydraulic conductivity describes water flow through a more discrete point in the aquifer. Transmissivity is better used in water supply applications (like determining how much water a well will produce for a drinking water purposes). Hydraulic conductivity is better used for describing how much water moves through a certain portion or bed within the aquifer, which is more applicable to contaminant hydrogeology, remediation, heterogeneous aquifers, etc.

@deltarampock5978 5 жыл бұрын

I think You may imagine transmissivity like a "plain" passing through aquifer per time unit.

@@daneandersen8181 but in the darcy law we take the cross sectional area of the whole porous medium. when we try to fixate only on the water flowing through the pores we get seepage velocity, which is more than darcy velocity. So, further multiyplying by width makes not much sense as the cross sectional area considered by darcy will automatically include the width b.. which begs the question why have you taken cross sectional areas differently
