To calculate the flow rate through soil using Darcy’s law, we consider factors such as the soil’s hydraulic conductivity, the cross-sectional area through which the water flows, the difference in hydraulic head (the driving pressure), and the length of the flow path. Darcy’s law essentially states that the flow rate is directly proportional to both the permeability of the soil and the pressure difference, while being inversely proportional to the distance the water travels. This method is commonly used to predict water movement in porous materials like soil.

      ✅ Flexible Purchase Options — Buy Exactly What You Need!
      1️⃣ You can purchase any single group individually based on your teaching or learning needs.
      2️⃣ Or pick multiple groups and pay the combined price.
      3️⃣ Want all 12 modules? Get the FULL PACKAGE for only $250 — a 50% discount compared to buying modules separately ($500 total).

      ✳️ Pricing Examples:
      • Buy just Shallow Foundations ➔ $70
      • Buy 3 groups (e.g., Shallow Foundations, Soil Phase Relationships, Stress Distribution) ➔ $180 (still less than full package price)
      • Buy 6 groups (e.g., Groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 9) ➔ $305 — in this case, it’s smarter to buy the full package for $250 and get all modules.
