constant head permeameter, 85 mm in diameter containing fine sand sample 450 mm long, allowed water to flow at a rate of 184 L/min under steady flow conditions. Given the difference in head between two points 240 mm apart was 375 mm, determine the pefficient of permeability in mm/s. When the same sample size is tested in a falling head apparatus using a stand-pipe of 32.5 mm iameter, calculate the time required for the water in the stand-pipe to drop from 1750 mm to 1000 mm above the outflow level.

Laboratory Determination of Hydraulic Conductivity

Hydraulic conductivity is the measure of flowability of water inside the soil in the presence of a hydraulic gradient. The hydraulic gradient is defined as the difference in the water heads in the soil, which induces a water motion. In simple terms, a hydraulic gradient is the presence of a potential that induces a flow of water.
