Hydrological properties

• aquiclude
• a geological substance that does not allow the
  movement of liquid or gas - impermeable
• aquifer
• a geological substance that allows the movement
  of liquid of gas easily highly permeable
• two end members of a continuous scale

• impermeable / impervious
• low permeability
• moderate permeability
• good permeability

20
Permeability in a porous rock
21
Permeability in a fractured rock
22
Focus in this course
