Specific storage Totally Explained

Everything about Specific Storage totally explained

Specific storage (S_s), storativity (S), specific yield (S_y) and specific capacity are material physical properties that characterize the capacity of an aquifer to release groundwater from storage in response to a decline in hydraulic head. For that reason they're sometimes referred to as "storage properties". In the field of hydrogeology, these properties are often determined using some combination of field hydraulic tests (for example, aquifer tests) and laboratory tests on aquifer material samples.

Specific storage

The specific storage is the amount of water that a portion of an aquifer releases from storage, per unit mass or volume of aquifer, per unit change in hydraulic head, while remaining fully saturated. Mass specific storage is the mass of water than an aquifer releases from storage, per mass of aquifer, per unit decline in hydraulic head:
