Get PriceThe value of hydraulic conductivity of a soil that has a presence of small percentages of fines will be significantly lower than the same soil without fines. In the other hand, the presence of fissures in clay will result in a much higher value of hydraulic conductivity compared to that of unfissured clay (Craig, 2004).
Get PriceHydraulic conductivity in natural field soil is governed by factors such as cracks, root holes, worm holes, and stability of soil crumbs. Texture, that is, the percent of the primary particles of sand, silt, and clay, usually has a minor effect on hydraulic conductivity, except for disturbed soil materials.
