English term

Strike length / strike

English to French Tech/Engineering Mining & Minerals / Gems Hydrogeology for mine sites
This occurs in bullet points in a presentation about the assessment of water resources at a mine site.
It occurs in the following bullet points:
"Extent of salt water aquifer is 43 km (strike length) by 25 km width"
"Main water strikes between 60 and 80mbgl"
"An average of 2 m drawdown over a 43 km strike length, for a 25 km wide aquifer, with a specific yield of 0.13, provides 280 Mm3 groundwater storage"

A definition: strike -- The direction or trend of a bedding plane or fault, as it intersects the horizontal.

In the text given I now think strike is simply expressing that water has been found.
