Volume Percent of Porosity Specific Yield and Specific Retention

Go Volume Percent of Porosity = Specific Yield Percentage+Specific Retention Percentage

Specific Retention given Porosity

Go Specific Retention Percentage = Volume Percent of Porosity-Specific Yield Percentage

Specific Yield given Porosity

Go Specific Yield Percentage = Volume Percent of Porosity-Specific Retention Percentage

Volume of Water Drained by Gravity given Specific Yield

Go Volume of water drained by gravity = (Specific Yield Percentage*Total Volume)/100

Specific Yield given Total Volume

Go Specific Yield Percentage = (Volume of water drained by gravity/Total Volume)*100

Total Volume given Specific Yield

Go Total Volume = (Volume of water drained by gravity/Specific Yield Percentage)*100

Volume of Water Retained given Specific Retention

Go Volume of Water retained = (Total Volume*Specific Retention Percentage)/100

Specific Retention given Total Volume

Go Specific Retention Percentage = (Volume of Water retained/Total Volume)*100

Total Volume given Specific Retention

Go Total Volume = (Volume of Water retained/Specific Retention Percentage)*100

Specific Yield given Porosity Formula

Specific Yield Percentage = Volume Percent of Porosity-Specific Retention Percentage
%S_y = η_v-%S_r

What is Specific Yield?

Specific yield is the amount of water that is actually available for groundwater pumping, when sediments or rocks are drained due to lowering of the water table. Specific yield depends on the distribution of pores, their shape, and grain size.

How to Calculate Specific Yield given Porosity?

Specific Yield given Porosity calculator uses Specific Yield Percentage = Volume Percent of Porosity-Specific Retention Percentage to calculate the Specific Yield Percentage, The Specific Yield given Porosity is defined as the amount of water that is actually available for groundwater pumping when sediments or rocks are drained due to the lowering of the water table. Specific Yield Percentage is denoted by %S_y symbol.

How to calculate Specific Yield given Porosity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Specific Yield given Porosity, enter Volume Percent of Porosity (η_v) & Specific Retention Percentage (%S_r) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Specific Yield given Porosity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 15 = 25-10.

FAQ

What is Specific Yield given Porosity?
