Question

How does porosity relate to permeability?

Answer 1

 the less porous, the less permeable

Answer 2

Explanation:

Porosity means voids or empty spaces present between the rock or soil particles. Thus, water can retain in these spaces.

Whereas permeability means the capacity of fluid to flow easily. When there are more number of spaces then there is more possibility that fluid or water can easily pass through there.

Thus, we can conclude that porosity relate to permeability as follows.

• the more porous, the more permeable.
• the less porous, the less permeable.
