Potentiometric surface definition
Potentiometric surface means a surface that represents the level to which water will rise in tightly cased wells.
Potentiometric surface means a measure of pressure of groundwater in an aquifer based on the level to which groundwa- ter will rise in a well placed in the aquifer.
Potentiometric surface means the level to which water will rise in tightly cased wells. (Figure 240-1).
More Definitions of Potentiometric surface
Potentiometric surface means the surface that coincides with the static level of water in an aquifer. The surface is represented by the levels to which water from a given aquifer will rise under its full head.
Potentiometric surface means a surface that denotes the variation of hydraulic head in the given aquifer across an area.
Potentiometric surface means the surface that coincides with the static level of water in an aquifer. The surface is represented by the levels to which water from
Potentiometric surface means an imaginary surface which represents the static elevation of water, relative to sea level, in a well constructed in an aquifer.
Potentiometric surface means the surface where groundwater pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure.
Potentiometric surface means a surface representing the total head of ground water in a significant zone of saturation, aquifer, or aquifer system and defined by the levels to which water will rise in tightly cased wells.
Potentiometric surface means the imaginary surface that represents the level to which water from an aquifer (confined or unconfined) will rise in wells.
