What is porosity? What is permeability? What is the cone of depression? What is an aquifer? How is porosity different from permeability?

Porosity is the % of Pore space in material. The space between the grains

What is porosity? What is permeability? What is the cone of depression? What is an aquifer? How is porosity different from permeability?

Permeability is the rate at which materials will flow through the pores.

What is porosity? What is permeability? What is the cone of depression? What is an aquifer? How is porosity different from permeability?

What is porosity? What is permeability? What is the cone of depression? What is an aquifer? How is porosity different from permeability?

An aquifer is a porous and permeable rock which can transmit water.

What is porosity? What is permeability? What is the cone of depression? What is an aquifer? How is porosity different from permeability?

Porosity is the pore space and permeability is the flow rate.
