What factors influence the hydraulic conductivity of a glacial drift?
Hydraulic Conductivity: Hydraulic conductivity refers to the ability of the aquifer material to transmit water, which in turn, controls the rate at which ground water will flow under a given gradient. It is related to the size and spacing of particles or groins in soils or to the number and size of fractures in rocks Glacial drift: Unstratified deposits laid down directly beneath the ice or dropped from the surface as the ice melted Soil Texture The distribution of soil particle sizes influences the rate of water movement through the soil Soil Permeability Defined as the rate of water movement through the soil Soil Depth Soil Organic Matter The amount of soil organic matter influences the sorption potential of the soil Soil Slope Can influence the amount of water that will infiltrate into a soil.
Where would soil be expected to erode the fastest?
Soil would be expected to erode the fastest at an area where there is fast moving water downslope. This occurs close to watershed where there is a turbulent flow and high hydraulic action.
Does clay absorb water?
Clay has an extremely low permeability (the hydraulic conductivity of clays range from 10-8 to 10-12 m/s) but is not totally impermeable or else it's hydraulic conductivity would be equal to zero. However in practical applications, clay is often assumed to be impermeable as there are few natural materials with lower hydraulic conductivity values.
What are the main soil types in India?
Alluvial soil Black soil (regur soil) Red soil Mountain Soil Desert soil
What is sub soil and top soil?
Top soil is soil on the very top of the earths crust and is the soil we walk on. Sub soil is the soil tha is under top soil
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 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

Can I use hydraulic fluid for a substitute for hydraulic oil in a bobcat skid-steer?
Hydraulic fluid and hydraulic oil are one in the same.
Can hydraulic pump can be used as hydraulic motor?
Instead of hydraulic pumps, hydraulic gear motor does not work. Hydraulic pump hydraulic motor blade is used instead.
Is a 2001 Mitsubishi eclipse have a hydraulic or cable clutch?
Hydraulic Hydraulic
What word would tell us how hard or how easy it is for water to flow through soil?
Hydraulic conductivity or permeability are both terns that would fit the above description.
Is hydraulic fluid and hydraulic oil the same thing?
Hydraulic oil and hydraulic fluid are different. Hydraulic fluid is used in small systems such as car brakes. Hydraulic oil is used in large systems such as loaders.
Can a hydraulic motor be used as helm pump?
Instead of hydraulic pumps, hydraulic gear motor does not work. Hydraulic pump hydraulic motor blade is used instead.
