STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Aquifer Thickness = Transmissivity/Equivalent Permeability
b = τ/K_e
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Aquifer Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - The Aquifer Thickness is referred as vertical distance between the top and bottom boundaries of an aquifer, typically measured in feet or meters.
Transmissivity - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - The Transmissivity refers to the measure of how much water can be transmitted horizontally through an aquifer is the product of the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer and its saturated thickness.
Equivalent Permeability - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Equivalent Permeability is referred as when the flow is parallel to stratification.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Transmissivity: 1.4 Square Meter per Second --> 1.4 Square Meter per Second No Conversion Required
