  "definition": "The ability of the soil to transmit water. Also commonly known as the permeability. Darcy found that to relate the flow rate to the hydraulic head and area of flow required a constant of proportionality (termed k) as the hydraulic connectivity. It has units of velocity. Note that the value is a function of both the porous media and the fluid.",
