Geography Rivers 1. The speed and volume of a river varies from place to place along a river’s course because of many reasons. In the upper course‚ the volume of water is low as there are few tributaries. In comparison‚ the volume of water in the middle course is higher as there are more tributaries supplying water to the main river channel. The volume of water in the lower course is the highest as the lower course has the most tributaries. However‚ many other factors will also affect the

coefficient of permeability implies the velocity of flow of water through the soil under unit hydraulic gradient‚ and consequently has the same units as that of velocity. A. Variable head test: The variable head test is used for fine grained soils like silts and silty clays. For the Variable head test the following formula is applicable: Where‚ k = Coefficient of permeability at To C (cm/sec). a = Cross Sectional area of stand pipe (cm2). L = Length of soil specimen (cm) A = Cross-sectional area

Soil Mechanics Soil is the most misunderstood term in the field. The problem arises in the reasons for which different groups or professions study soils. Soil scientists are interested in soils as a medium for plant growth. So soil scientists focus on the organic rich part of the soils horizon and refer to the sediments below the weathered zone as parent material. Classification is based on physical‚ chemical‚ and biological properties that can be observed and measured. Soils engineers think
