Storativity
Using science to create a better place: Hydrogeological impact appraisal for rewarding abstractions (also referred to as Science Report – SC040020/SR1) was published by the Environment Agency in 2007. It was written by R Boak, L Bellis, R Low, R Mitchell, P Hayes, P McKelvey and S Neale.
It defines storativity as: “A dimensionless measure (also known as storage coefficient) of the amount of water released from or taken into storage in an aquifer per unit surface area for a unit change in hydraulic head.”
