... the coefficient of transmissibility T, indicates the capacity of an aquifer as a whole to transmit water, and is equal to the hydraulic conductivity multiplied by the saturated thickness of the aquifer, b, in ft. 5, record 1, English, - transmissivity
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
[Transmissivity] is expressed as the product of the hydraulic conductivity and the thickness of the saturated portion of an aquifer. 4, record 1, English, - transmissivity
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
transmissivity: It replaces "coefficient of transmissibility" because by convention it is considered a property of the aquifer, which is transmissive, whereas the contained liquid is transmissible. 3, record 1, English, - transmissivity

Planar water flow (syphonage). Although not a standard test, the ability of a fabric to carry water horizontally in its manufactured plane is often very important. This type of planar permeability can easily be modeled at different heads and even for negative heads. This latter suggestion would then be measuring the syphonage ability of the fabric. Of importance in such measurements would be the transverse load applied to the fabric as it is under test. 5, record 3, English, - transmissivity
