What is Storage Coefficient?

Storativity or the storage coefficient is the volume of water released from storage per unit decline in hydraulic head in the aquifer, per unit area of the aquifer. Storativity is a dimensionless quantity, and is always greater than 0.

What does negative sign indicates?

The negative sign indicates the opposite nature of the changes in pressure head and water level. The efficiency can be expected in the range of 10-75%.
