This depends on the soil!
Cohesionless coarse grained soils with high gravel contents may have high hydraulic conductivity on the order of 1 to 1x10-1 m/s.
Mixed sands and gravels are on the order of 1x10-1 to 1x10-3 m/s.
Finer sands approximately 1x10-3 to 1x10-4, and fine grained soils such as silty sands may be in the range of 1x10-5 to 1x10-7 m/s.
Very fine grained cohesive clay soils have very low hydraulic conductivity values ranging from 1x10-7 to 1x10-13 m/s.

What is the difference between an infiltration rate and a hydraulic conductivity?
It seems that infiltration rate is a soil parameter which is determined in the field with all soil aspects. However, hydraulic conductivity is determined in the lab and it is not typically illustrated soil permiability as compared with infiltration rate
What isw the Purpose of thermal conductivity in soil during cable laying?
The cabling to Earth is done for electrical conductivity, not for thermal conductivity. The general idea is to get rid of excess charges.
Is hydraulic fluid and hydraulic oil the same thing?
Hydraulic oil and hydraulic fluid are different. Hydraulic fluid is used in small systems such as car brakes. Hydraulic oil is used in large systems such as loaders.
What is a hydraulic bonds?
