transmissivity
How much passes
Transmissivity is a technical term in hydrogeology that measures how easily water flows horizontally through an aquifer, calculated as the hydraulic conductivity multiplied by the aquifer's thickness.
In optics and physics, transmissivity (or transmittance) refers to the fraction of incident light or radiation that passes through a material rather than being absorbed or reflected.
The aquifer's high transmissivity made it an ideal source for the municipal water supply.
