Shallow, unconfined aquifers often follow the same flow
patterns as the watershed above them, as seen in the
illustration at right. Deeper, confined aquifers may be part of a
different flow system.

To determine the rate of flow, two parameters are needed
* k = coefficient of permeability
* i = hydraulic gradient
k can be determined using
1Laboratory Testing
2Field Testing
3Empirical Equations
i can be determined
1from the head loss
2flow net
[constant head test & falling head test]

Figure 1 is a sketch of the
apparatus used to
determine the coefficient of
permeability in the
laboratory. The soil sample
should be as close to undisturbed as possible. While
performing the test, one has
to maintain a constant
water level at the top by
adding water at a rate of q
for some time interval of t.

PERMEABILITY
Porositas mengacu pada kecendrungan material untuk
dilewati zat cair melewati pori-pori nya.
 Permeabilitas adlah parameter anah penting dalam
proyek dimana air mengalir melewati tanah atau batuan
seperti alairan yang melewati bawah dam , drainse pada
lapisan sabgrade dan timbunan, mengetahui kecepatan
sumur dapat teisi kembali dan dewatering untuk struktur
yang dekat dengan muka air tanah.


Ada beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi permeabilitas
tanah adalah:
1. visikositas air ( dipengaruhi oleh suhu)
2. ukuran dan bentuk partikel
3. derajat kejenuhan
4. void ratio

In construction, if an excavation is to be done
below the water table, a dewatering plan needs
to be followed. A highly permeable soil will
require a pumping system with a comparatively
large capacity. A low permeable soil may not
require any pumping. In addition, fill material
that is highly permeable can usually be placed
and compacted immediately, but low permeable
fill may require days of drying before being
placed and compacted.
The fundamental description of permeability
is based on the equation q=vA which takes the
familiar form similar to river discharge. The
variable q is the discharge (Vol/Time), v is the
apparent velocity, and A is the area that is
related to the geometry of the situation. Now,
Darcy's Law describes the factors important in
determining the value of v, which is
 v=ki
 where k is a constant for the material and is
called the coefficient of permeability, and i
is the hydraulic gradient which is related to
the water pressure. The following table lists
some soil permeabilities.
