Flow of Water Through

Soils
Chapter 3
• Darcy’s Law governs the flow of water through soils.
• He proposed that the total flow velocity through soils is proportional to the
gradient of the total head.
• The flow velocity is:

v = ki
Seepage velocity, =
Where:
i = H/L (hydraulic gradient)
k = coefficient of permeability or hydraulic conductivity, m/s, m/day
n = porosity
The flow of water is:
Q = kia
