• HydroelectricityRelated: Greater head generally increases the energy available per unit of water.

• Water tableRelated: Differences in hydraulic head drive groundwater flow and shape the water table.

• Groundwater rechargeRelated: Differences in hydraulic head drive subsurface flow away from recharge areas.

• HydropowerRelated: Together with flow rate, head determines the water power available to a plant.

• Hydraulic conductivityRelated: Differences in head provide the energy gradient associated with flow.

• Drip irrigationRelated: Differences in hydraulic head drive flow through drip lines and affect outlet pressure.

• Groundwater flowBroader topic: Differences in head provide the principal force moving groundwater.

• Pressure gradientCompared with: Groundwater flow follows hydraulic-head gradients, not pressure gradients alone when elevation varies.

• Pumped-storage hydroelectricityRelated: The elevation difference between reservoirs supplies the head that drives turbine output.

• PenstockRelated: The elevation difference driving flow through the penstock supplies the turbine’s available energy.

• Confined aquiferRelated: Head reveals the pressure maintained within a confined aquifer.

• Itaipu DamRelated: The reservoir-to-tailwater height difference helps determine power output at Itaipu.

• Water wellRelated: Differences in head drive groundwater toward or away from a well.

• Freshwater lensBroader topic: The lens’s freshwater head above sea level helps set its depth beneath the island.

• Hydroelectricity in BrazilRelated: The elevation difference across a dam helps determine each plant’s generating capacity.

• Darcy's lawRelated: Its spatial gradient supplies the driving force in groundwater formulations of Darcy flow.

• Great Artesian BasinRelated: Differences in hydraulic head drive water toward flowing bores and springs.

• Torricelli's lawNarrower topic: The height in Torricelli's law is the head supplying energy to the jet.

• Water turbineRelated: Available head helps determine the turbine’s energy input and suitable design.

• Manicouagan ReservoirRelated: Water-level differences help determine the energy available to downstream generating stations.

• Body of waterRelated: Differences in head drive groundwater through aquifers and toward springs.
