EFFECTS OF POROSITY ON FLOW OF WATER IN SOILS: EFFECT OF POROSITY ON SEEPAGE AND DEFLECTION OF WATER THROUGH SATURATED SAND

It should be noted that the selection of a good graded filter as a protective layer or a seepage control medium depends on its properties, which can only be determined experimentally. Thus, there is a need for better understanding of the law which governs the flow of fluid through these media which are used as graded filter and modify it for sets of media in which the law fails to hold accurately
