GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Water movement in aquifers is highly dependent of the permeability of the aquifer material. Permeable material contains interconnected cracks or spaces that are both numerous enough and large enough to allow water to move freely.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ability or attribute of any soil or rock to permit the flow or passage of water through it is termed permeability.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ease with which fluid is transmitted through a rock’s pore space is called permeability. Although a rock may be very porous, it is not necessarily very permeable. Permeability is a measure of how interconnected the individual pore spaces are in a rock or sediment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Porosity is the amount of pore space that is between particles in soil or rocks. Permeability takes this pore space and connects the voids together so that water can pass through. Porosity is more associated with storage of water, while permeability is more associated with groundwater movement and flow.
