Hydraulic conductivity of soils varies directly with
A. Capillary porosity
B. Non-capillary porosity
C. Total porosity
D. Water holding capacity
Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Hydraulic conductivity defines the proportional relationship between flux and hydraulic gradient, or in this case, of unidirectional flow of water in saturated soil. Saturated hydraulic conductivity is a quantitative expression of the soil’s ability to transmit water under a given hydraulic gradient.Hydraulic conductivity of soils varies directly with the total porosity of the soil.
