That ground-water travel time is 1. the time-required for ground water to travel between two locations [22]. 2. the time required for a unit volume of ground water to travel between two locations. the travel time is the length of the flow path divided by the velocity, where velocity is the average ground-water flux passing through the cross-sectional area of the geologic medium through which flow occurs, perpendicular to the flow direction, divided by the effective porosity along the flow path. if discrete segments of the flow path have different hydrologic properties, the total travel time will be the sum of the travel times for each discrete segment [22].?
