Calculate Groundwater Velocity





Formula

The formula to calculate the Groundwater Velocity (Vgw) is:

\[ Vgw = \frac{K \cdot L}{n} \]

Where:

Groundwater Velocity Definition

Groundwater velocity measures the speed at which water flows through the ground, typically during a flood. The speed of the water depends on several factors, including the porosity of the soil.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Groundwater Velocity (Vgw):

\[ Vgw = \frac{0.01 \cdot 0.02}{0.25} = 0.0008 \]

The Groundwater Velocity (Vgw) is 0.0008 m/s.
