Rate of movement through aquifer and confining bed Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Groundwater Velocity = (Hydraulic Conductivity/Porosity of soil)*Hydraulic Gradient
v = (K/η)*dhds
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Groundwater Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Groundwater Velocity is the rate of movement of ground water.
Hydraulic Conductivity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Hydraulic Conductivity depends on the size and arrangement of the water-transmitting openings and on the dynamic characteristics of the fluid.
Porosity of soil - Porosity of soil is the ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of soil.
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.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Hydraulic Conductivity: 2.5 Meter per Second --> 2.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Porosity of soil: 0.32 --> No Conversion Required
Hydraulic Gradient: 2.4 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
v = (K/η)*dhds --> (2.5/0.32)*2.4
Evaluating ... ...
v = 18.75
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
18.75 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
18.75 Meter per Second <-- Groundwater Velocity
(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

FAQ

What is Rate of movement through aquifer and confining bed?
The Rate of movement through aquifer and confining bed is defined as the rate of movement through an aquifer and a confining bed and is represented as v = (K/η)*dhds or Groundwater Velocity = (Hydraulic Conductivity/Porosity of soil)*Hydraulic Gradient. Hydraulic Conductivity depends on the size and arrangement of the water-transmitting openings and on the dynamic characteristics of the fluid, Porosity of soil is the ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of soil & 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.
How to calculate Rate of movement through aquifer and confining bed?
The Rate of movement through aquifer and confining bed is defined as the rate of movement through an aquifer and a confining bed is calculated using Groundwater Velocity = (Hydraulic Conductivity/Porosity of soil)*Hydraulic Gradient. To calculate Rate of movement through aquifer and confining bed, you need Hydraulic Conductivity (K), Porosity of soil (η) & Hydraulic Gradient (dhds). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Hydraulic Conductivity, Porosity of soil & Hydraulic Gradient and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
