Upload NowThe following article will guide you about how to determine the permeability of soil. Constant Head Permeability Test: Permeability of coarse-grained soils having high permeability is determined in the laboratory by the constant head permeability test. The principle of the test is to measure the volume of water flowing through a soil specimen in a […]

The various types of in situ tests commonly used to determine the permeability of aquifers in the field are: 1. Pumping-out test. 2. Pumping-in Test. Compared with laboratory methods, field methods give a more reliable value of permeability, since the soil is tested in situ without disturbing its structure and void ratio. The value of […]
