Gradient is the steepness of a slope.
the zone of aeration
It is called an unsaturated layer.

Gradient is the steepness of a slope.
Hydraulic gradient
Changing the slope of the stream table affects the speed and direction of water flow. A steeper slope creates faster water flow, which can result in more erosion and deposition. Conversely, a flatter slope slows down water flow, leading to less erosion and deposition. These changes in flow dynamics can cause differences in the shape and size of channels, as well as the amount and distribution of sediment carried by the water.
The top saturated zone is called the water table.
The top level of ground water is called the Water Table.
the zone of aeration
The natural level of water is called a water table, or groundwater table.
Water Table
The top level of groundwater in an aquifer is called the water table.
a mud table
Slope is rise over run, so if you have a rise of 2 and a run of 4, then the slope is 0.5. If the table gives rises and runs, then just follow the two until they meet, that should be the slope.
This is known as the phreatic surface or water table.
