What is Hydraulic Gradient?

Hydraulic head or piezometric head is a specific measurement of liquid pressure above a vertical datum. It is usually measured as a liquid surface elevation, expressed in units of length, at the entrance of a piezometer.

What is Coefficient of Permeability?

Coefficient of permeability of a soil 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.

How to Calculate Hydraulic Gradient given Velocity?

Hydraulic Gradient given Velocity calculator uses Hydraulic Gradient = Mean Velocity/Coefficient of Permeability to calculate the Hydraulic Gradient, The Hydraulic Gradient given Velocity is defined as the change in hydraulic head per unit distance in the direction of flow representing the driving force behind groundwater flow. Hydraulic Gradient is denoted by H symbol.
