Question: Derive equtSaturated hydraulic conductivity Ks measured using a falling - head permeameter, Ks = d ^ 2 / D ^ 2 * L / t

Derive equtSaturated hydraulic conductivity Ks measured using a falling-head permeameter, Ks = d^2/D^2*L/t*LN(h0/h), where d is the diameter of the small water tower, D is the diameter of the soil sample, L is the length of the soil sample, h0 is the initial water pressure head in the water tower above the higher end of the sample (measured at time t =0), h is the second water pressure head in the water tower measured at a time t >0
