Aquifer Properties - Feature Description

Definition: A measured or calculated physical or hydraulic property of an aquifer such as hydraulic conductivity, Transmissivity, Storativity, porosity, effective porosity, Specific Yield (drainable porosity) and Retention (non-drainable porosity), Specific Capacity (it is well parameter), etc. usually measured at a well or series of wells (based on Heath 1983, Freeze & Cherry 1979, Fetter 2001) (it can be also measured in laboratory on base of aquifer samples)

Properties:

• Transmissivity (t)
• Hydraulic Conductivity (K)
• Storage Coefficient (S)
• Specific Storage Coefficient (Ss)
• Porosity (n)
• Effective Porosity
• Retention
• Storativity
• Specific Yield
