Gravity potential

The amount of work required to raise a body a specified height in a gravity field. Gravity head is expressed as energy per weight and is equal to the distance Z, of a measurement point in the soil above an arbitrary reference height (z). Gravity potential is expressed as energy per volume and is equal to the product of the distance raised, Z, the water density, ρ and the gravitation constant, g (ρgZ)
