Hydraulic Equivalent
In the energy balance of groundwater flow (see also Darcy's law) a hydraulic equivalent of Joule's law is used :
where:
- = loss of hydraulic energy due to friction of flow in -direction per unit of time (m/day) – comparable to
- = flow velocity in -direction (m/day) – comparable to
- = hydraulic conductivity of the soil (m/day) – the hydraulic conductivity is inversely proportional to the hydraulic resistance which compares to

Famous quotes containing the word equivalent:
“To place oneself in the position of God is painful: being God is equivalent to being tortured. For being God means that one is in harmony with all that is, including the worst. The existence of the worst evils is unimaginable unless God willed them.”
—Georges Bataille (1897–1962)
