Courbes altimétriques isopièzesPiezometric contour lines (isopiestic lines)
This API provides isopiestic lines (hydroisohypses), which are contour lines connecting points of equal groundwater elevation in the subsurface. Knowledge of these contours allows determination of the direction of groundwater flow within an aquifer. The elevation values are calculated as multi-year averages based on piezometric survey data. The dataset is maintained by the Geneva territorial information system (Système d'information du territoire genevois), covering the canton of Geneva, Switzerland, and is relevant for hydrogeological analysis and groundwater management.Les isopièzes (ou hydroisohypses) sont des courbes altimétriques de même niveau d'eau dans le sous-sol. La connaissance des isopièzes permet de déterminer le sens des écoulements d'une nappe. L'altitude est calculée sur des moyennes sur plusieurs années en fonction des données des relevés piézométr…
