Piezométerek, sometimes referred to as piezometers, are instruments used to measure piezometric head, which is the hydraulic head of water in a confined aquifer. Essentially, they are wells or boreholes drilled into an aquifer to allow for the measurement of groundwater pressure. The water level in a piezometer reflects the pressure of the groundwater at that specific depth. By measuring the height of the water column above a reference point, the piezometric head can be determined.

Piezométerek are crucial in hydrogeology for understanding groundwater flow and aquifer characteristics. They help in the assessment of groundwater resources, the monitoring of groundwater contamination, and the analysis of the impact of pumping or recharge activities. The data obtained from piezométerek can be used to construct potentiometric maps, which illustrate the distribution of hydraulic head across an area and indicate the direction of groundwater flow. Different types of piezométerek exist, including open-tube piezométerek, vibrating-wire piezométerek, and hydraulic piezométerek, each with its own advantages and applications. Installation and maintenance are important to ensure accurate and reliable measurements.
