ABSTRACT
Hydraulic conductivity is a value representing the relative ability of water to move through aquifers of a given permeability material. Hydraulic conductivity can be estimated from lithologic logs (grain size), laboratory measurements, and aquifer tests. Laboratory and ˜eld methods are used to determine hydraulic conductivity. However, values obtained in the laboratory are applicable in large-scale situations and may not be representative of the bulk properties of the aquifer. The key value of aquifer tests is that they measure less-disturbed materials.
