What is hydraulic conductivity?
A)the velocity at which water passes through soil
B)the proportion of sand and gravel in a soil
C)the number and sizes of pore spaces in a soil
D)the ability of a porous material to transmit water

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydraulic conductivity is the ability of a porous material (such as soil) to transmit water. It is affected by factors such as the size and connectivity of pore spaces, as well as the properties of the water itself. Options A, B, and C are related to factors that can affect hydraulic conductivity, but they are not the definition of hydraulic conductivity itself.
