Appendix B—Notes on the permeability coefficient and its units

October 5, 1946

In the development of terms and units for a new science such as ground‐water hydrology, which is based on physics, it would seem fitting to adopt the terminology that has become standard in other branches of physics such as heat and electricity. Darcy's law has its counterpart in similar laws in the other branches of physics.
