Determination of the hydraulic conductivity function of
4.1 Determination of bulk hydraulic conductivities. The derived soil hydraulic conductivity function of grey Vertosol was insufficient to model the suction and volumetric water content profiles of the actual soil column. The main reason behind this might be due to the preferential flow paths (. Flury et al. 1994.

Hydraulic Conductivity of Saturated Clay Soils Hydraulic conductivity is the speed with which water flows through soil media under unit hydraulic gradient. The laws by which this flow takes place are very well understood in sand and coarser grained soils but are still under debate for clay soils. Flow can be classified as one- two- or three

The hydraulic conductivity (k) especially for clayey soils has been indirectly used as consolidation coefficient (cv) for prediction of the rate of settlement. However recently with increasing concern of environmental problems the value of k itself has become a very important parameter in seepage problems of polluted fluid.
