What is Coefficient Of Permeability and Why Should You Care?
It's a measure of how easily water can flow through soil or rock layers.
Formula:
$$\text{Coefficient Of Permeability} = q \times d$$
Where:
- q is the amount of water per unit area per unit time (m³/m²s)
- d is the penetration distance (m)
Calculation Example:
- Amount of Water per Unit Area per Unit Time: 50 m³/m²s
- Penetration Distance: 8 m
$$\text{Coefficient Of Permeability} = 50 \times 8 = 400 \text{ m/s}$$
