What is Coefficient of Permeability?

The Coefficient of Permeability describes how easily a liquid will move through a soil. It is also commonly referred to as the hydraulic conductivity of a soil. This factor can be affected by the viscosity, or thickness(fluidity) of a liquid and its density. of a soil describes how easily a liquid will move through a soil.
