en amont dans la pente hydraulique Explanation: Hydraulic head or piezometric head is a specific measurement of liquid pressure above a geodetic datum.[1][2] "It is usually measured as a liquid surface elevation, expressed in units of length, at the entrance (or bottom) of a piezometer. In an aquifer, it can be calculated from the depth to water in a piezometric well (a specialized water well), and given information of the piezometer's elevation and screen depth. Hydraulic head can similarly be measured in a column of water using a standpipe piezometer by measuring the height of the water surface in the tube relative to a common datum. The hydraulic head can be used to determine a hydraulic gradient between two or more points." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_head "Géographie du cycle de l'eau - Page 98 - Google Books Result https://books.google.be/books?isbn=2858162735 - Translate this page Roger Lambert - 1996 - Cycle hydrologique LA PENTE HYDRAULIQUE Que les eaux souterraines émergent en sources, que les eaux de ressuyage des sols des versants arrivent au chenal, alors elles ..." |
