Record 1, Textual support, English
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
Rate at which water is transferred through a unit width of an aquifer under a unit hydraulic gradient. 4, record 1, English, - transmissivity
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
... 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
