Formula Used

Transmissivity = Coefficient of Permeability at 20° C*Aquifer Thickness
τ = K*b
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Transmissivity - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - Transmissivity describes the ability of the to transmit groundwater throughout its entire saturated thickness.
Coefficient of Permeability at 20° C - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Coefficient of Permeability at 20° C is referred as measure of a porous medium’s ability to allow fluid flow through its voids.
Aquifer Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - The Aquifer Thickness referred as vertical distance between the top and bottom boundaries of an aquifer, typically measured in feet or meters.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coefficient of Permeability at 20° C: 6 Centimeter per Second --> 0.06 Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Aquifer Thickness: 15 Meter --> 15 Meter No Conversion Required

< 6 Transmissivity of Aquifer Calculators

Transmissivity given Discharge Quantity

Go Transmissivity = (Total Water Volume/Aquifer Thickness)*(Distance Between the Points/Change in Head Between the Points)

Quantity of Water for Transmissivity

Go Total Water Volume = Transmissivity*Aquifer Thickness*Hydraulic Gradient

Transmissibility when Coefficient of Permeability is Considered

Go Transmissivity = Coefficient of Permeability at 20° C*Aquifer Thickness

Unit Dimension of Aquifer about Transmissivity

Go Aquifer Thickness = Transmissivity/Coefficient of Permeability at 20° C

Transmissivity of Aquifer when Equivalent Permeability is considered

Go Transmissivity = Equivalent Permeability*Aquifer Thickness

Aquifer Thickness when Transmissivity of Aquifer is considered

Go Aquifer Thickness = Transmissivity/Equivalent Permeability

Transmissibility when Coefficient of Permeability is Considered Formula

Transmissivity = Coefficient of Permeability at 20° C*Aquifer Thickness
τ = K*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 Transmissibility when Coefficient of Permeability is Considered?
