Answer;

The above statement is false

Step-by-step explanation;

  • Rocks have different porosity and permeability characteristics, which means that water does not move around the same way in all rocks below ground.
  • Permeability greater than 250 mD are considered very good, while permeability less than 1 mD are considered poor.
  • Low porosity normally results in low permeability, but high porosity does not necessarily imply high permeability. It is possible to have a highly porous rock with little or no interconnections between pores.
