k = Q_t/(i*A_cs*t)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Coefficient of Permeability of Soil - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Coefficient of Permeability of Soil describes how easily a liquid will move through the soil.
Discharge from Dam - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge from Dam is the volumetric flow rate of water that is transported through a given cross-sectional area. It includes any suspended solids, dissolved chemicals, or biologic material.
Hydraulic Gradient to Head Loss - Hydraulic Gradient to Head Loss is a specific measurement of liquid pressure above a vertical datum.
Cross-Sectional Area of Base - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross-Sectional Area of Base is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional shape is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.
Time Taken to Travel - (Measured in Second) - Time Taken to Travel is the total time taken by an object to reach its destination.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge from Dam: 0.46 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.46 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Hydraulic Gradient to Head Loss: 2.02 --> No Conversion Required
Cross-Sectional Area of Base: 13 Square Meter --> 13 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Time Taken to Travel: 6 Second --> 6 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

k = Q_t/(i*A_cs*t) --> 0.46/(2.02*13*6)

Evaluating ... ...

k = 0.00291952272150292

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00291952272150292 Meter per Second -->0.291952272150292 Centimeter per Second (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.291952272150292 ≈ 0.291952 Centimeter per Second <-- Coefficient of Permeability of Soil
