A constant head hydraulic conductivity test is performed on a sample from anaquifer. Determine the horizontal hydraulic conductivity for the following specimen in units of [cm/s].The length, L, of the specimen is 25cm and the diameter of the specimen is 7.5cm. The specimen issubjected to a head, e, of 0.2m. In 5 minutes of steady flow, 20ml of water exited the specimen. Specifythe most likely type of geologic material the specimen is based on the hydraulic conductivity value.

Question

A constant head hydraulic conductivity test is performed on a sample from an
aquifer. Determine the horizontal hydraulic conductivity for the following specimen in units of [cm/s].
The length, L, of the specimen is 25cm and the diameter of the specimen is 7.5cm. The specimen is
subjected to a head, e, of 0.2m. In 5 minutes of steady flow, 20ml of water exited the specimen. Specify
the most likely type of geologic material the specimen is based on the hydraulic conductivity value.
