What region benefits from the underground water of the Ogallala Aquifer?
The Great Plains region of the US benefits from the Ogallala (or High Plains) Aquifer.
How quickly would groundwater flow through rock with porosity and high permeability?
75
What material should have high electro magnetic property?
A material with high initial permeability and low retentivity have electromagnetic property.
What states use the Ogallala aquifer?
The High Plains are underlain by an enormous aquifer, the Ogallala Aquifer, which consists of thick sands and gravels running in a great north-south belt from Wyoming and South Dakota, through the sand hills of Nebraska, along the eastern border of Colorado and the western half of Kansas, through the panhandle of Oklahoma to northwest Texas.
Does increasing membrane permeability affect the time it takes for the osmometer to reach equilibrium?
It should. The permeability of a membrane defines how fast substances move across a membrane from a high concentration environment to the lower concentration environment. The more permeable the membrane the sooner equilibrium is reached when the concentrations on both side are the same.
Compare the porosity and the permeability of an aquifer with the porosity and the permeability of a layer of shale beneath the aquifer?
The permeability and porosity of an aquifer is very high, air and pretty much any liquid can pass trough it with ease. Where as shale has very little porosity making it virtually impossible for air or liquid to pass through.
Does silt have high permeability?
Silt has neither high or low permeability. It has moderate permeability. :) !
If a material has a high conductivity does it have a high permeability and if so what would be an approximate permeability for the high conductive material?

Can a rock have high porosity but low permeability?
Yes for example Clay has high porosity and low permeability
What kinds of rocks would act as a good aquifer?
An aquifer is defined as a body of rock or unconsolidated sediment that has sufficient permeability to allow water to flow through it. Unconsolidated materials like gravel, sand and even silt make relatively good aquifers, as do rocks like sandstone. Other rocks can be good aquifers if they are well fractured.
What region benefits from the underground water of the Ogallala Aquifer?
The Great Plains region of the US benefits from the Ogallala (or High Plains) Aquifer.
What are the features of a capillary cell that makes it good at its job?
Thin cell wall - facilitates permeability of gases and blood. High surface-to-volume ratio
What is an accurate description of clay soil?
high porosity, low permeability
Why would a farmer need to know the soil permeability on his land?
It's a way to know how well the soil on his land will retain moisture, and thus determine what crops are good to grow on that soil, or whether the enterprise of raising crops is even worth considering. Soils can be sandy (very high permeability = no water retention), clayey (very low permeability = too much water retention) or loamy (moderate permeability = ideal water retention).
What is an aquifuge?
aquifiers are layers of rock that are of use to ground water like a filter
How quickly would groundwater flow through rock with porosity and high permeability?

Does clay have high permeability?
No. Clay particles are very small and tend to attract other clay particles to from a matrix. Permeability refers to the ability of a gas or liquid to flow through a material. Because clay forms a tight matrix, gas and liquids flow very slowly through clay. Loose sand has high permeability
