Two properties of an aquifer material related to its storage function are its porosity and specific yield. Porosity is the ratio of the volume of voids or pores in a soil mass to its total volume. Shape, size and packing of the grains affect the porosity of granular material. The grain size distribution of the […]

How to Calculate the Velocity of Ground Water Flow? | Geography
Article shared by :
Ground water moves from levels of higher energy to levels of lower energy, its energy being essentially the result of elevation and pressure, the velocity heads being neglected since the flow is essentially laminar. The velocity is very small in the laminar range—of the order of 1 cm/sec—and the Reynolds number (Re) for ground water […]
Ground Water Flow: Potential and Problem | Geography
Article shared by :
In this article we will discuss about the potential and problems of ground water flow. Ground Water Flow Potential: The total energy (or head, h) at any point in the ground water flow field per unit weight of water is given by- h = z + p/γw + V2/2g Where z = elevation of the […]
