Abstract

enter into soil. It is ability to permit water in soil. According to Darcy’s law for laminar flow, discharge velocity is directly proportional to hydraulic gradient. Permeability gets affect by specific surface area, shape of particle, size of particle, void ratio, fluid properties, degree of saturation, organic matter etc. There are some laboratory test and some are field test to find out the permeability of soil. Laboratory test are constant head test, falling head test, capillarity permeability test and consolidation test. Pumping out test and pumping in test methods is the field test. This paper presents a review on determination of soil permeability.
