Daily Objectives #9 (February 10, 2004) Dr. Sanders
By
the end of today's class, you should be able to do the
following:
v Present your
results on your explorations of movement of water through open conduits
and through
porous media: Bucket-to-Bucket Transfer, Capillary Action, Darcy
Discovery, Draining Work, Holey Water Bottle, and Infiltration
Observation. (See last
Thursday's pink sheet for more info.)
v Define each of the following hydraulic properties of porous
materials:
porosity effective porosity specific yield specific retention
v Develop laboratory experiments to estimate the values of each of the hydraulic properties listed above.v Give the typical range of values of porosity, specific yield, and specific retention of different types of porous materials, using the correct units of measurement.
v Describe the relationships between and among the following properties of porous materials:
p
porosity and effective porosity;
p
specific retention and specific yield;
p
specific yield and effective porosity; and
p
specific yield, specific retention, and porosity.
