Factsheet
What is Soil Compaction?

Soil compaction is the process of increasing the density of soil by packing the particles closer together causing a reduction in the volume of air. The volume of water, at least initially, remains unchanged. Soil water acts as a lubricant increasing compaction when a load is imposed on the soil. If near saturation, however, the load is likely to exceed the soil strength and bearing capacity, resulting in excessive wheel slippage and rutting as well as soil mixing and smearing.




Schlumberger
Oilfield Glossary
Permeability

The ability, or measurement of a rock's ability, to transmit fluids, typically measured in darcies or millidarcies. Formations that transmit fluids readily, such as sandstones, are described as permeable and tend to have many large, well-connected pores. Impermeable, such as shales and siltstones, tend to be finer grained or of a mixed grain size, with smaller, fewer, or less interconnected pores...


Both words are well attested, since 16th and 18th centuries, respectively, in Oxford Shorter English Dictionary
