Soil not impeding the diffusion of water.
Description of any surface that allows another substance (for example, water) to pass through it.
Material that has openings through which liquid will pass in filtering. Also referred to as porous or pervious.
Capable of transmitting water (porous rock, sediment, or soil); the rate at which water moves through rocks or soil.
Permitting the flow of water or other liquids.
Porous, allowing the passage of air.
Soil or other material that allows the infiltration or passage of water or other liquids.
having openings that liquids (or gasses) can pass through
Capable of allowing passage of fluid or substances in solution.
A characteristic of underground formations, which have pores or openings that permit liquids to pass through.
a porous formation or rock through which hydrocarbon fluids or water can flow
allowing (especially liquids) to pass or diffuse through; "permeable membranes"; "rock that is permeable by water"
Membrane based dressing allowing permeation of substances through it
having the properties of being able to allow molecules to flow; diffuse; penetrate through a membrane.
Describes material or soil that allows the movement or passage of water through it. Compare impermeable.
allowing liquids or gases to pass through
Capable of transmitting water (e.g. porous rock, sediment or soil).
Cracks and pore spaces between the rock particles (such as porous sandstone or fractured limestone) are interconnected and are large enough to permit fluid movement.
the degree to which water can flow freely from one pore within rock and soil, to the next
This is a measure of how quickly a liquid can flow through a rock. It is an important property to consider e.g. when building a reservoir, when sourcing new oil reserves. Liquid can flow through a rock in two different ways: Through pores or small inter-connected holes (like a sponge) in the rock's structure i.e. it is porous Through joints and cracks in the rock i.e. is it pervious Peak District gritstone has many holes within its structure that allow it to hold water and so is considered to be porous. However if the pores are not well connected then liquid cannot easily flow through the rock and so will not necessarily be highly permeable but more impermeable. Peak District limestone is very jointed and cracked and therefore considered to be pervious.
capable of allowing flow or movement of a liquid such as water through pore spaces (Because of the ease with which liquids may move through the numerous large pore spaces of the sandy Pinelands soils, they are said to be highly permeable.)
referring to a membrane that allows substances to pass through it
Pertaining to a rock or soil having a texture that permits passage of liquids or gases under the pressure ordinarily found in earth materials.
A property of material or soil that allows the movement of water through it.
Having pores or openings that permit liquids or gases to pass through.
Capable of allowing substances to pass through.
Capable of allowing something (such as water vapour) to pass through without harm.
A media which allows some material to pass through.
Rock which allows water to pass through cracks and joints
A rock that will allow water to pass through it such as limestone.
Able to be infiltrated by water.
a rock property relating to its ability to transmit water; pore connectivity
A rock that allows fluid to pass through it easily is said to be permeable.
Permitting other substances to pass through.
Can be passed through. Term used to describe soil and rock and also in membrane technology.
The property or capacity of a porous rock, sediment, or soil to transmit a liquid.
Fluids are able to pass through.
Open to the passage of fluids, as for (1) pervious soils and (2) bank-protection structures.
able to transmit water or other liquids; for example, rock with tiny passageways between holes, fractured rock, and gravel are permeable.
Permeable materials have tiny spaces in that allow some substances (such as oil and water) to pass through. Useful products from oil
measure of a rock’s ability to flow liquids or gases. Highly permeable rocks tend to have many large and well-connected pores. The more permeable the rock, the easier it is to produce oil and gas from the reservoir.
Permeability is a measure of the ease with which a fluid will move through a porous material (e.g., sand and gravel or rock). A geologic unit is permeable if ground water moves easily through it.
the ability of a material to allow liquids to pass through it
A rock, sediment, or soil that allows fluids (such as gas, oil, or water), to pass through it.
Capable of being passed through like light through a glass.
