1) Darcy's law describes groundwater flow through porous media according to hydraulic conductivity and hydraulic gradient. 2) Factors that influence groundwater levels include precipitation, soil type, and land use. Heavy rainfall or irrigation can cause groundwater levels to rise. 3) The drainage of an agricultural parcel is calculated based on the hydraulic conductivity, horizontal distance from a stream, and vertical distances between the groundwater level and impenetrable layer and stream level.
