Methods for determining the hydraulic conductivity k (laboratory classes) 1300-SP-MWWKC
The goals of the classes are:
- Familiarization with methods for determining the hydraulic conductivity (k) using indirect methods based on data obtained from granulometric analysis and their interpretation using empirical formulas.
- Learning the methods of determining the hydraulic conductivity using laboratory permeability methods, including:
1. Permeameter;
2. King's pipes;
3. Column permeameter;
- Using the method of direct measurement of the hydraulic conductivity in the well using the PARAMEX method;
- Assessment of the reliability and accuracy of the results of determining the hydraulic conductivity using the types of methods presented.
