Formula Used

Transmissivity = (Total Water Volume/Aquifer Thickness)*(Distance Between the Points/Change in Head Between the Points)
τ = (V_w/b)*(dl/ΔH)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Transmissivity - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - The Transmissivity refers to the measure of how much water can be transmitted horizontally through an aquifer is the product of the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer and its saturated thickness.
Total Water Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Total Water Volume refers to the quantity of water during the entire event under consideration, for example, tide period.
Aquifer Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - The Aquifer Thickness is referred as vertical distance between the top and bottom boundaries of an aquifer, typically measured in feet or meters.
Distance Between the Points - (Measured in Meter) - The Distance Between the Points is often used to calculate various parameters such as slope, hydraulic gradient, and flow characteristics.
Change in Head Between the Points - (Measured in Meter) - Change in Head Between the Points refers to the difference in the hydraulic head at two different points in a fluid system separated by a small distance dl.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Water Volume: 50 Cubic Meter per Second --> 50 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Aquifer Thickness: 29 Meter --> 29 Meter No Conversion Required
Distance Between the Points: 0.51 Meter --> 0.51 Meter No Conversion Required
