Darcy’s law THIS IS EASY!!!!! Discharge/Flow = (Hydraulic Conductivity x Area) x (Hydraulic Gradient) Hydraulic Conductivity x Area This is the ease at which fluids flow through the material. Coarser material is easiest Finer material is harder Hydraulic Gradient This is the pressure pushing the water The more pressure the steeper the surface the faster the flow.
