 Hydraulic conductivity

Hydraulic conductivity is a measure of a material's ability to transmit water when subjected to a hydraulic gradient. It quantifies how easily water can flow through soil, rock, or other porous media. Hydraulic conductivity is influenced by several factors, including the size and arrangement of soil particles, porosity (the amount of void space in the material), the degree of saturation, and the viscosity of the fluid (typically water).
