单词 potentiometric surface
释义
potentiometric surface

Geology and Earth Sciences
  • A hypothetical surface defined by the level to which water in a confined aquifer rises in observation boreholes. In practice, the potentiometric surface is mapped by interpolation between borehole measurements. As with the water-table in an unconfined aquifer, the slope of the potentiometric surface defines the hydraulic gradient and the horizontal direction of groundwater flow. See hydraulic head.
