Specific Yield Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Yield = Volume of water Drained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample
S_y = V_d/V_t
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Yield - Specific Yield tells how much water is available for Consumptive use.
Volume of water Drained - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Water Drained from total volume of soil or rock is the removal of excess water either from the ground surface or from the rootzone.
Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample is the combined volume of solids and pores which may contain volume of air or volume of water, or both.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volume of water Drained: 10 Cubic Meter --> 10 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample: 50 Cubic Meter --> 50 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S_y = V_d/V_t --> 10/50

Evaluating ... ...

S_y = 0.2

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.2 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.2 <-- Specific Yield

< 3 Specific Yield Calculators

Volume of water that drains from total volume soil or rock sample

Go Volume of water Drained = Specific Yield*Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample

Total volume of soil or rock samples

Go Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample = Volume of water Drained/Specific Yield

Specific Yield

Go Specific Yield = Volume of water Drained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample

Specific Yield Formula

Specific Yield = Volume of water Drained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample
S_y = V_d/V_t

What is Specific Yield?

Specific Yield is defined as the volume of water released from storage by an unconfined aquifer per unit surface area of aquifer per unit decline of the water table.

How to Calculate Specific Yield?

Specific Yield calculator uses Specific Yield = Volume of water Drained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample to calculate the Specific Yield, The Specific Yield is defined as the amount of how much water is available for man's consumptive use. Specific Yield is denoted by S_y symbol.

How to calculate Specific Yield using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Specific Yield, enter Volume of water Drained (V_d) & Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample (V_t) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Specific Yield calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.2 = 10/50.

FAQ

What is Specific Yield?

The Specific Yield is defined as the amount of how much water is available for man's consumptive use and is represented as S_y = V_d/V_t or Specific Yield = Volume of water Drained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample. Volume of Water Drained from total volume of soil or rock is the removal of excess water either from the ground surface or from the rootzone & Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample is the combined volume of solids and pores which may contain volume of air or volume of water, or both.

How to calculate Specific Yield?

The Specific Yield is defined as the amount of how much water is available for man's consumptive use is calculated using Specific Yield = Volume of water Drained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample. To calculate Specific Yield, you need Volume of water Drained (V_d) & Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample (V_t). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Volume of water Drained & Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
