Hydraulic conductivity is a measure of the capability of a medium to transmit water. This section describes the tools used for measuring hydraulic conductivity using direct push tools. The strengths of these methods are that they are performed in situ, they do not require permanent well installations, they are relatively quick and inexpensive to perform, and they can easily be carried out at multiple depths in the same probe location.

Hydraulic Profiling Tool
Locates and defines preferential migration pathways for contaminants in the subsurface. Targets zones for injection of remediation material. Selects well screen intervals, evaluates locations to conduct slug tests, and measures static water conditions across a site.
