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.

2. You're designing a stilling basin and you need to know the minimum length of that basin and also how much energy loss will be achieved before flow is released into the downstream channel. Given the basin width is 10-feet, the flow rate is 240 CFS, the upstream froude number is found from hydraulic modeling to be 4.0. Solve the following: • Minimum length of the stilling basin. • Energy loss within the stilling basin (Calculate both energy loss in feet and in tons). • The depth of water being released outside of the stilling basin. • The Froude Number being released from the Stilling Basin. • Look at USBR Design of Small Dams and Write a paragraph (4-5 sentences) of the recommended stilling basin you would propose for the hydraulic scenario.
