adjective
- of or relating to the measurement of pressure, especially fluid pressure in the ground or in geological formations
Usage: technical; commonly used in hydrogeology and civil engineering
Examples
- The piezometric head indicates the water pressure at a specific depth in the aquifer.
- Engineers installed piezometric sensors to monitor groundwater levels during construction.
- A piezometric surface map shows the elevation of water in confined aquifers.
- The piezometric pressure increased significantly after the heavy rainfall.
- Geologists use piezometric data to understand subsurface fluid flow patterns.
