What is Initial Piezometric Surface?

The initial piezometric surface refers to the level at which groundwater naturally stands in a confined aquifer before any pumping or external influence. It represents the hydraulic head and pressure distribution across the aquifer. This surface is used as a reference to measure drawdown during pumping. Understanding the initial piezometric surface is essential for aquifer management, determining water availability, and assessing the impact of water extraction on the system. It provides insight into the natural groundwater flow and pressure dynamics before any human or environmental changes occur.
