Depth dependence and exponential models of permeability in alluvial-fan gravel deposits [PDF]
, 2013 To determine depth dependence of permeability in various geologic deposits, exponential models have often been proposed. However, spatial variability in hydraulic conductivity, K, rarely fits this trend in coarse alluvial aquifers, where complex ...
