I am not sure about the property and the unit. I have seen cm/day but also kg s-1 MPa-1 m. I found this as well: The unit pressure driving force for soil hydraulic conductivity is typically expressed as the hydraulic gradient, which is dimensionless. Therefore, soil hydraulic conductivity is often measured in units of length per time, such as meters per second (m/s), centimeters per second (cm/s), or meters per day (m/day), indicating the rate of water flow per unit hydraulic gradient. Should the definition then also be aligned?
