Permeability, as the name implies (ability to permeate), is a measure of how easily a fluid can flow through a porous medium. Soil permeability is the property of the soil to transmit water and air and is one of the most important qualities to consider for fish culture. Generally, coarser the soil grains, larger the voids and larger the permeability. The more permeable the soil, the greater the seepage. Flow of water through soils is called seepage. Seepage takes place when there is difference in water levels on the two sides of the structure such as a dam or a sheet pile. Some soil is so permeable and seepage so great that it is not possible to build a pond without special construction techniques. The presentation will give better understanding on the topic.
