Description
Permeability is a property of soil that
permits flow of water through its
interconnecting voids. Permeability
is an important engineering property
that governs the rate of settlement of
saturated compressible soil layers and
the rate of flow of aquifer. Permeability is
taken into account for pumping ground
water, spacing well points for de-watering
foundation sites for excavation, retention
of water in reservoirs, design of dams
and selection of soils to be used for
