i = (V_uaq/(K_w*A_xsec))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Hydraulic Gradient - Hydraulic gradient is a specific measurement of liquid pressure above a vertical datum.
Rate of Flow in Unconfined Aquifer - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Rate of Flow in Unconfined Aquifer is the rate at which a liquid or other substance flows through an unconfined aquifer material.
Coefficient of Permeability - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Coefficient of Permeability is the velocity in meters or centimeters per second of water through soils.
Area of Cross Section in Enviro. Engin. - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Cross Section in Enviro. Engin. is the enclosed surface area, product of length and breadth.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Rate of Flow in Unconfined Aquifer: 0.16 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.16 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Permeability: 1000 Centimeter per Second --> 10 Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Area of Cross Section in Enviro. Engin.: 6400 Square Millimeter --> 0.0064 Square Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

i = (V_uaq/(K_w*A_xsec)) --> (0.16/(10*0.0064))

Evaluating ... ...

i = 2.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.5 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.5 <-- Hydraulic Gradient
