water level
Lake surface measurement
Water level is the height of a water surface relative to some reference point.
It appears in discussions of floods, tides, reservoirs, and plumbing: The water level in the lake dropped three feet during the drought.
A water level is also a tool that uses liquid in a tube to determine whether a surface is horizontal.
