# Aquifer Permeability **Permeability** is a measure of the ability of a porous material (like an aquifer) to transmit fluids through its interconnected pore spaces. It depends on the size, shape, and connectivity of the pores, and is independent of the fluid properties. **Units:** - Intrinsic permeability: m² or darcy (1 darcy ≈ 10⁻¹² m²) - Hydraulic conductivity: m/s or m/day (combines permeability with fluid properties) --- ## Worked Example **Problem:** Water flows through a confined aquifer with hydraulic conductivity K = 25 m/day. Two observation wells 500 m apart show heads of 145 m and 140 m. The aquifer thickness is 15 m and width is 200 m. Calculate the discharge through the aquifer. **Solution:** Using **Darcy's Law**: Q = -KA(dh/dl) Where: - K = 25 m/day - A = 15 m × 200 m = 3,000 m² - dh = 145 - 140 = 5 m - dl = 500 m Q = 25 × 3,000 × (5/500) Q = 25 × 3,000 × 0.01 **Q = 750 m³/day** The aquifer transmits 750 cubic meters of water per day.
