Total head loss means (pressure, velocity, datum head) but in so in mechanics we are not considering velocity head than how it is true? Answer please.

V = KI.

K = Permeability of soil.

I = dh/dz = Potential gradient.

V = Velocity.

Q = K*H*NF/ND.

NF = NO OF FLOW LINES.
ND = NO OF POTENTIAL DROP.
K = PERMEABILITY OF SOIL.
H = HEAD LOSS.
