A slug test was made using a piezometer with a casing radius of 2.54 cm and a screen of radius 4.54 cm. The well was screened fully within a confined aquifer that was 3.3 m thick. The static depth to water in the piezometer is 10.5 cm. The remaining depths to water in the piezometer versus time are given in the chart below. Find the aquifer transmissivity using the Hvorslev method from the below data (time corresponding to each depthin order): Time (min) 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 Depth to water from surface (cm) 5.4, 6.2, 6.8, 7.5, 8.4, 9.0, 9.5 10        9.5

Field applications of hydraulic conductivity

Hydraulic conductivity is one of the hydraulic properties of soil defined as a measurement of the ability of a porous medium to permit water movement or fluid flow through it. It is denoted by the letter K. It is influenced by the density and viscosity of the fluid. It is also called permeability. Hydraulic conductivity is defined as the ratio of velocity to the hydraulic gradient. The different methods used to determine the hydraulic conductivity are laboratory methods (constant head permeability tests and falling head tests), in-situ field methods (pumping in and pumping out tests), small scale field tests (infiltration tests and slug tests), and indirect methods such as estimation from grain size, consolidation test data, and horizontal capillary test. The pedotransfer function (PTF) method is a specific empirical estimating approach employed in the soil sciences is also used to determine the hydraulic conductivity of the soil.
