Transmissivity definition

Transmissivity means the rate of flow of water through a vertical strip of aquifer which is one unit wide and which extends the full saturated depth of the aquifer.
Transmissivity means the rate at which water of the prevailing kinematic viscosity is transmitted through a unit width of an aquifer under a unit hydraulic gradient. It equals the hydraulic conductivity multiplied by the aquifer thickness.
Transmissivity means the rate in gallons per minute (gpm), at which water is transmitted horizontally through a unit width by the total saturated thickness of an aquifer, in feet (ft), under a unit hydraulic gradient (gpm/ft).

More Definitions of Transmissivity

Transmissivity means the rate of flow of water through an aquifer.
Transmissivity means the rate at which water of the prevailing kinematic viscosity is transmitted
Transmissivity means a measure of the ability of an aquifer to transmit a fluid through a unit volume of the aquifer. It can be quantified as the hydraulic conductivity multiplied by the saturated thickness.
Transmissivity means the hydraulic conductivity integrated over the saturated thickness of an underground formation. The transmissivity of a series of formations is the sum of the individual transmissivities of each formation comprising the series.
Transmissivity means a measure of the ability of an aquifer to transmit a fluid. It is equal to the average hydraulic conductivity multiplied by the saturated thickness.
Transmissivity means the product of the hydraulic conductivity and the total saturated thickness
Transmissivity. ' means the rate at which water is transmitted through a unit width of a water­ bearing formation under a unit hydraulic gradient. It is equal to the hydraulic conductivity times the thickness of the formation, and is given in units of distance squared per unit time.
