Coefficient of Aquifer Permeability given Maximum Height of Water Table Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Coefficient of Permeability = (Natural Recharge*Length between Tile Drain^2)/(2*Maximum Height of Water Table)^2
K = (R*L^2)/(2*h_m)^2
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Coefficient of Permeability - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Coefficient of Permeability of soil describes how easily a liquid will move through the soil.
Natural Recharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Natural Recharge is a process by which groundwater is replenished naturally when precipitation infiltrates the ground, moving through the soil and rock layers until it reaches the water table.
Length between Tile Drain - (Measured in Meter) - The Length between Tile Drain refers to the approximate expression to the water table profile on a horizontal impervious boundary.
Maximum Height of Water Table - (Measured in Meter) - The Maximum Height of Water Table refers to the water table refers to the highest level at which the water table can be found in a given area.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Natural Recharge: 16 Cubic Meter per Second --> 16 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Length between Tile Drain: 6 Meter --> 6 Meter No Conversion Required
Maximum Height of Water Table: 40 Meter --> 40 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

K = (R*L^2)/(2*h_m)^2 --> (16*6^2)/(2*40)^2

Evaluating ... ...

K = 0.09

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.09 Meter per Second -->9 Centimeter per Second (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

9 Centimeter per Second <-- Coefficient of Permeability

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

What is Recharge?

Recharge is the primary method through which water enters an aquifer. This process usually occurs in the vadose zone below plant roots and, is often expressed as a flux to the water table surface. Groundwater recharge also encompasses water moving away from the water table farther into the saturated zone.
