Relationships between basic soils-engineering equations and basic ground-water flow equations
Donald G. Jorgensen
1980, Water Supply Paper 2064
The many varied though related terms developed by ground-water hydrologists and by soils engineers are useful to each discipline, but their differences in terminology hinder the use of related information in interdisciplinary studies. Equations for the Terzaghi theory of consolidation and equations for ground-water flow are identical under specific conditions....
