Transmissibility:

It is defined as the capability of soil or rocks to transmit water through itself while considering unit width and full depth is under unit hydraulic gradient.

i.e.

Q = K × i × A

Q = K × i × (B × D)

Q = (K × D) × i × B

Q = T × i × B

$(T = \frac{Q}{{i \times B}})$

where Q = flow rate, K = permeability, i = hydraulic gradient, A = area, B = width, d = depth

Permeability:

It is defined as the capability of soil or rocks to transmit water through itself while considering unit area and under unit hydraulic gradient.

$(K = \frac{Q}{{i \times A}})$
