A 15 cm vertical soil sample is taken and placed in constant head permeameter. The surface area of the soil sample is 20 cm2. h1 is measured at 25 cm and h2 is 10 cm. The water that flows through the soil sample has a constant discharge and 95 cm3 is collected in 15 minutes. Calculate the hydraulic conductivity of the soil sample. What kind of soil you think this is?
