Saturated Permeability

Saturated permeability refers to how easily water or other fluids can flow through a material, like soil or rock, when that material is completely filled with the fluid. It’s an important factor in fields like hydrology, agriculture, and engineering, as it affects drainage, irrigation, and construction. High saturated permeability means water can move quickly through the material, while low permeability indicates resistance to flow. Understanding this concept helps in managing water resources, predicting flood risks, and designing effective infrastructure.
