German term or phrase: halbgespannt
Die natürliche Schwankungsbreite der Grundwasserstände betrug im vergangenen Jahr nur etwa 10 cm. Die beobachteten Wasserspiegelschwankungen von bis zu 0,3 m innerhalb weniger Tage sind auf Luftdruckschwankungen zurückzuführen, die in dem fein geschichteten und daher halbgespannten Grundwasserleiter durch behinderten Ausgleich zum Atmosphärendruck hervorgerufen werden.
