What is Specific Yield?

Specific Yield is the amount of water that is actually available for groundwater pumping, when sediments or rocks are drained due to lowering of the water table. Specific yield depends on the distribution of pores, their shape, and grain size.

How to Calculate Specific Yield given Porosity?

Specific Yield given Porosity calculator uses Specific Yield Percentage = Volume Percent of Porosity-Specific Retention Percentage to calculate the Specific Yield Percentage, The Specific Yield given Porosity formula is defined as the amount of water that is actually available for groundwater pumping when sediments or rocks are drained due to the lowering of the water table. Specific Yield Percentage is denoted by %S_y symbol.

How to calculate Specific Yield given Porosity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Specific Yield given Porosity, enter Volume Percent of Porosity (η_v) & Specific Retention Percentage (%S_r) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Specific Yield given Porosity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 15 = 25-10.

FAQ
