Equivalent Permeability = Transmissivity/Aquifer Thickness
K_e = τ/b

What is Aquifer Transmissivity?

Transmissivity describes the ability of the aquifer to transmit groundwater throughout its entire saturated thickness. Transmissivity is measured as the rate at which groundwater can flow through an aquifer section of unit width under a unit hydraulic gradient.

How to Calculate Equivalent Permeability when Transmissivity of Aquifer is Considered?

Equivalent Permeability when Transmissivity of Aquifer is Considered calculator uses Equivalent Permeability = Transmissivity/Aquifer Thickness to calculate the Equivalent Permeability, The Equivalent Permeability when Transmissivity of Aquifer is Considered formula is defined as horizontal flow where the flow is parallel to stratification, that is, parallel to the layers. In this case, the head over the same flow path length will be the same for each layer. Equivalent Permeability is denoted by K_e symbol.
