“…The approximate K values of 114 samples and 15 samples taken from riverbanks and streambeds, respectively, were then calculated by employing empirical equation methods [Hazen, Hazen K (cm/s) = d10 (mm), Terzaghi, Beyer, Slichter, Sauerbrei, Kruger, Kozeny–Carman, Zunker, USBR, Zamarin, Barr, Alyamani and Sen, Chapuis, and Krumbein and Monk].
