Hydraulic conductivity is a fundamental parameter that governs the flow of liquids such as groundwater through aquifers and other porous media.
Transmissibility (or transmissivity) is a property closely related to hydraulic conductivity that describes the capacity of a specific water-bearing unit of a given thickness, such as an aquifer, to transmit water.
Porosity refers to the amount of empty space within a given material. In soil or rock the porosity (empty space) exists between the grains of minerals. In a material like gravel and grains are large and there is lots of empty space between them since they don't fit together very well.
Permeability is a measure of the ease with which a fluid (water in this case) can move through a porous material.
