Conductivity: The amount of electricity the water can conduct. It is expressed in a chemical magnitude. Please use also our information about TDS and conductivity. Conduit: A natural or artificial channel through which fluids may be conveyed ...
conductivity A measure of the ability of an aqueous solution to transmit electrical current. CONE OF DEPRESSION ...
conductivity. A measure of the ability of a solution (water) to carry an electric current. conductor. A substance, body, device or wire that readily ...
conductivity The property of transmitting heat, electricity, or sound through a medium. conductor A substance, body, device or wire that readily conducts or carries energy, such as electrical current.
thermal conductivity The rate of transfer of heat to or from a point in the soil. thermogenic soils ...
Conductivity (also see salinity) Dissolved Oxygen (DO) pH Color of water Taste and odour Turbidity Total suspended solids (TSS) Chemical oxygen demand (COD) Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) Fecal coliform bacteria (e.g. Escherichia coli) ...
Conductivity: A coefficient of proportionality describing the rate at which a fluid (e.g., water or gas) can move through a permeable medium.
Hydraulic Conductivity The rate at which water can move through a permeable medium. Aquifers with high hydraulic conductivity yield and transmit more water than similar aquifers with low hydraulic conductivity. Hydraulic Gradient ...
Hydraulic Conductivity (K): A coefficient of proportionality describing the rate at which water can move through a permeable medium. It is a function of the porous medium and the fluid.
Hydraulic Conductivity: The rate at which water can move through a permeable medium. (i.e. the coefficient of permeability.) Hydraulic Gradient: In general, the direction of groundwater flow due to changes in the depth of the water table.
Electromagnetic Conductivity EMAP Environmental Mapping and Assessment Program ...
Electrical Conductivity EC) - a test used to measure the ease with which a current can flow through a soil saturation extract.
hydraulic conductivity A measure of the rate at which water can move through a permeable medium if the hydraulic gradient of the ground-water flow system is unity (45 degrees).
Heavy Metals: those metals (elements with high density, malleability, and electrical and thermal conductivity) that have high specific gravity and high atomic mass, such as lead, cadmium, zinc, copper, silver, and mercury.
Confining layer: Geologic material with little or no permeability or hydraulic conductivity. Water does not pass through this layer or the rate of movement is extremely slow.
Salinity may be measured by weight (total dissolved solids - TDS), electrical conductivity, or osmotic pressure. Where seawater is known to be the major source of salt, salinity is often used to refer to the concentration of chlorides in the water.
permeability : A qualitative description of the relative ease with which rock, soil, or sediment will transmit a fluid (liquid or gas). Often used as a synonym for hydraulic conductivity or coefficient of permeability.
conductance conductivity, the indirect measure of electrolytes in water; the reciprocal of resistance; an electromotive force of 1 volt between two points is 1 mho or 1 siemens (S); specific conductance, ...
