Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009095

The volume of water released from or taken into storage by a unit volume of a porous aquifer material per unit change in hydraulic head. This property quantifies the compressibility of both the aquifer matrix and the water within its pores. It is expressed in units of inverse length, such as 1/meter.
