STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Apparent Velocity of Seepage = Coefficient of Permeability*Hydraulic Gradient
V = K*dhds
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Apparent Velocity of Seepage - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Apparent Velocity of Seepage is velocity with which groundwater moves through the bulk of the porous medium.
Coefficient of Permeability - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The coefficient of permeability is the velocity in m or cm/s of water through soils. Fine-grained soils have values (of 10-8m/sec) or sand and gravel could be (10-4m/sec).
Hydraulic Gradient - Hydraulic Gradient due to gravity is the ratio of difference in height of water to that of the horizontal distance between the wells or a specific measurement of liquid pressure above vertical datum.
