CONT

Prior to the penetration of the spilled contaminant, the soil is considered to be at field capacity. The field capacity is the greatest amount of water it is possible for a soil to hold in its pore spaces after excess water has drained away. As the saturated piston flow occurs, the hydraulic conductivity K = Ko, the saturated hydraulic conductivity.

0 = zéro = saturation totale (convention dans l'industrie); Enviroguide Éthylèneglycol, 5.5; A. sulfurique, 5.5.3.

OBS

Hydraulic conductivity = coefficient de perméabilité (coefficient K de la loi de Darcy, symbole : K).

OBS

Le sol est saturé par suite de l'écoulement piston du fluide déversé. L'indice zéro indique que tous les interstices du sol sont remplis (de fluide déversé principalement).

OBS

Coefficient de perméabilité d'un sol saturé. Sources : Dictionnaire français d'hydrogéologie, Castany, 1977, page 97; COLEA, 1968, page 67; Vocabulaire de l'hydrologie et de la météo, 1978, CILF; Dictionnaire de l' eau, OLF.
