Dr. Sanders
By the
end of today's class, you should be able to do the following:
Hydraulic Properties of Rocks and
Sediment
v
Define and describe how one can measure
the following properties:
porosity (n)
effective porosity (ne)
specific yield (Sy ) specific retention (Sr )
intrinsic
permeability (Ki )
hydraulic conductivity (K) We did not get to these
today--will do next time!
v
Explain the relationship between
specific yield, specific retention, and porosity.
v
Explain the relationship between
porosity and effective porosity.
v
Tell in what units of measurement
each of these properties is expressed.
v Give typical ranges of each of
these hydraulic properties for various types of sediments, and explain any
trends in the ranges.
