Hydraulic Conductivity Test

A Hydraulic Conductivity Test measures how easily water can flow through soil or rock. It helps engineers and scientists understand the permeability of the ground, which is important for constructing foundations, dams, or managing groundwater. The test involves passing water through a sample of soil or rock under controlled conditions and measuring the flow rate. The results indicate how rapid or slow water moves through the material, providing vital information for safe and effective design related to water flow and stability of structures.
