This lecture covers the fundamentals of groundwater flow mechanics, including topics such as natural slope movements, stability of embankments and dikes, groundwater effects on retaining walls, liquefaction during earthquakes, and different types of water formations. It also discusses the Darcy's law, coefficient of permeability, and experimental expressions for permeability. The instructor provides insights into the potential risks and challenges associated with groundwater in geotechnical engineering.
