I would like to know the rate(s) at which water will pass through diverse 
materials (end to end) by osmosis/capillary/absorbption action. This will 
provide "water-proofing" information as well as (opposite) the predictable 
length of time it will take water to pass through diverse materials as if it 
were a conduit. Is there a chart or formula to determine this?
