Introduction:
Groundwater is a vital natural resource that plays a crucial role in sustaining ecosystems and human activities. The movement of groundwater is influenced by various factors, with hydraulic conductivity being one of the key parameters that determine the rate at which water flows through porous media. Hydraulic conductivity is a measure of the ease with which water can move through a particular material, such as soil or rock. Understanding the effects of hydraulic conductivity on groundwater flow is essential for effective management and conservation of groundwater resources.
