Description:
Evaluation of groundwater resources requires the knowledge of the capacity of aquifers to store and transmit ground water. This requires estimates of key hydraulic parameters, such as the transmissivity, among others. The transmissivity T (m2/sec) is a hydraulic property, which measures the ability of the aquifer to transmit groundwater throughout its entire saturated thickness. It is defined as the product of the hydraulic conductivity K (m/sec) and the saturated thickness B(m), in the direction normal to the base of the aquifer: T = KB
