What is the difference between an infiltration rate and a hydraulic conductivity?
It seems that infiltration rate is a soil parameter which is determined in the field with all soil aspects. However, hydraulic conductivity is determined in the lab and it is not typically illustrated soil permiability as compared with infiltration rate
What is hydraulic conductivity of soil?
This depends on the soil! Cohesionless coarse grained soils with high gravel contents may have high hydraulic conductivity on the order of 1 to 1x10-1 m/s. Mixed sands and gravels are on the order of 1x10-1 to 1x10-3 m/s. Finer sands approximately 1x10-3 to 1x10-4, and fine grained soils such as silty sands may be in the range of 1x10-5 to 1x10-7 m/s. Very fine grained cohesive clay soils have very low hydraulic conductivity values ranging from 1x10-7 to 1x10-13 m/s.
What is the difference between infiltration and seepage?
infiltration is strictly downward motion in the direction of gravity while seepage can be in any direction.
How does urbanization paving etc affect runoff and infiltration in a small previously forested drainage basin?
Infiltration decreases; runnoff increases
If conductivity solution is frozen will it change the conductivity?
Conductivity of frozen solution will decrease tremendously, as iones will be immobile in frozen solution. However, upon defrost, the conductivity should return to standard value, if salt has not percititated out of solution irreversibly, which is not ususally the case with conductivity standard solutions.

Why is vertical hydraulic conductivity smaller than horizontal hydraulic conductivity?
Gravity
What is mean by saturated hydraulic conductivity?
Saturated hydraulic conductivity is a quantitative measure of a saturated soil's ability to transmit water when subjected to a hydraulic gradient. It can be thought of as the ease with which pores of a saturated soil permit water movement.

What factors affect infiltration?
Slope angle of ground surfaceHydraulic conductivity of soil (higher this value, greater infiltration)Presence of vegetation cover (presence of vegetation reduces infiltration rate)Density of vegetation cover (sometimes referred to as leaf area index - higher this value, lower infiltration)
What is a rocks ability to allow water to pass through?
Permeability/ hydraulic conductivity.
Why do oceanographers takes measurements of the conductivity of the seawater?
Conductivity can be used to calculate the salinity of the water.

How do you calculate the volume of hydraulic oil in any hydraulic circuit?
calculate the no of pipes in the circuit & then work out the volume based on the area.
