K = ((R/h^2)*(L-x)*x)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Coefficient of Permeability - (Measured in Centimeter 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.
Water Table Profile - (Measured in Meter) - The Water Table Profile refers to the depth of water table below aquifer.
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.
Flow in 'x' Direction - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Flow in 'x' Direction refers to the one-dimensional Dupit flow with recharge representation.

What is Groundwater Recharge?

Groundwater Recharge or deep drainage or deep percolation is a hydrologic process, where water moves downward from surface water to groundwater. 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.

How to Calculate Coefficient of Aquifer Permeability given Water Table Profile?

Coefficient of Aquifer Permeability given Water Table Profile calculator uses Coefficient of Permeability = ((Natural Recharge/Water Table Profile^2)*(Length between Tile Drain-Flow in 'x' Direction)*Flow in 'x' Direction) to calculate the Coefficient of Permeability, The Coefficient of Aquifer Permeability given Water Table Profile formula is defined as the measure of the capacity of the soil through which the water can easily flow through it. Coefficient of Permeability is denoted by K symbol.
