6 Vector Form of Darcy’s Law Q = - K A (  h/  l) q = - K grad h q = specific discharge (L/T) K = hydraulic conductivity (L/T) grad h = hydraulic gradient (L/L) h = head (L)

7 Scalar 1 component MagnitudeHead, concentration, temperature Vector 3 components Magnitude and direction Specific discharge, (& velocity), mass flux, heat flux Tensor 9 components Magnitude, direction and magnitude changing with direction Hydraulic conductivity, Dispersion coefficient, thermal conductivity

8 Inflow = Outflow Recharge Discharge Steady State Water Balance Eqn.
