The Importance of Using Probabilistic Effective Hydraulic Conductivity in Darcy's Law and Groundwater Flow Calculations
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2008: Ahupua'A
Abstract
The effective saturated hydraulic conductivity is a parameter that relates the average groundwater specific discharge to the average hydraulic gradient. This paper outlines a procedure to calculate the effective saturated hydraulic conductivity in local-scale groundwater flow. Examples are presented in this work.
