  • Question
  • Pick up the incorrect statement from the following :


  • Options
  • A. The rate of flow of water through a unit cross-sectional area under a unit hydraulic gradient, is called coefficient of permeability
  • B. The rate of flow of water through a vertical strip of the acquifer of unit width and full depth under a unit hydraulic gradient, is called coefficient of transmissibility
  • C. The flow of water through acquifers, is governed by the Darcy's law
  • D. The term 'transmissibility' was introduced by Meinzer
  • E. The ratio of coefficient of transmissibility and coefficient of permeability, is equal to the depth of acquifer through which water flows.

  • Correct Answer
  • The term 'transmissibility' was introduced by Meinzer
