Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Groundwater flows from areas of greater hydraulic head to those of lesser hydraulic head. Hydraulic head refers to the potential energy of groundwater, which is influenced by factors such as topography, geology, and recharge rates. Water will generally flow from areas of higher hydraulic head (e.g. hills, recharge zones) to areas of lower hydraulic head (e.g. valleys, discharge zones).
