Transmissivity of an aquifer is its hydraulic conductivity multiplied by its

  • A.porosity
  • B.specific yield of the material
  • C.areal extent
  • D.saturated thickness

Answer: D

It expresses how much water the whole thickness will transmit under a unit gradient, which is what matters to a well rather than the conductivity alone. A thin highly permeable bed and a thick poor one can transmit equally.
