Gravitational PotentialGravitational Potential
1. Gravitational potential energy is due only to the height of an object (water) above some reference point.
2. Gravitational potential energy is independent of soil properties.
We will use gravitational potentialenergy per unit weight of water (cm).

Total Potential Energy is the sumof the gravitational, submergence, and matric potential energies.
Ψg + ψm + ψs = ψT

Gradient
The difference in potential divided by the Distance between the two points considered
total potential at point A – total potential at point B
distance between points A and B
The driving force for water flow.
The stronger the gradient,the greater the driving force
for water movement.
