Solution to Exercise 8
8) Show that the units of Ss are 1/L.
Using Equation 45 in this book
Ss = ρg (α + neβ) |
where:
Ss | = | specific storage (1/L) |
α | = | compressibility of the aquifer solid structure (T2L/M) |
ne | = | effective porosity (dimensionless) |
β | = | compressibility of water (T2L/M) |
