vízlelhely

vízlelhely is a Hungarian term that is not widely attested in standard dictionaries. In practice, the more common form is vízlelőhely, which means a source or place from which water can be drawn. When vízlelhely is encountered, it is often a non-standard or variant form, and its exact meaning can vary depending on the context.

In hydrological or environmental contexts, a term that could be intended by vízlelhely may refer to either a natural water source or a site used for water collection or monitoring. This could include springs, groundwater outlets, or other water-bearing formations. It can also denote a man-made location used for storing, sampling, or studying water for research or management purposes. In some cases, it may refer to historical water collection sites, such as ancient cisterns or gathering points.

Etymology and usage notes: the word appears to be formed from víz (water) and lehely/lelőhely (place, site or deposit). The standard spelling is vízlelőhely; encountering vízlelhely should prompt verification with the author or consultation of authoritative Hungarian dictionaries or hydrological glossaries.
