Question 1

What is hydraulic conductivity?

  • A measure of water flow through an aquifer
  • The total water in an aquifer
  • A type of aquifer material

💡 Hint: Consider what K signifies in hydrogeology.

Question 2

True or False: Hydraulic conductivity is only dependent on the type of fluid, not the soil material.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about both factors involved.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

An unconfined aquifer has a hydraulic conductivity of 15 m/day. If a well is drilled and water is drawn down, how long will it take for the water level to drop by 30 meters assuming no recharge occurs?

💡 Hint: Use the formula time = distance / rate.

Question 2

A soil sample shows that the pore diameter averages 0.5 mm. If you replace the soil with another having a pore diameter of 2 mm, what would you predict about the hydraulic conductivity?

💡 Hint: Remember the effect of pore size on flow rate.
