What does WSEL stand for?

Water Surface Elevation
Water Surface Evaluation
Water Supply Elevation
Water Supply Evaluation

The correct answer is: Water Surface Elevation

WSEL stands for Water Surface Elevation. This term refers to the measurement of the height of the surface of a body of water above a datum, or reference point. This measurement is important for determining the potential for flooding, as it indicates how high the water level can rise without causing damage. The other options, water surface evaluation and water supply evaluation, are not commonly used terms and do not accurately reflect the meaning of WSEL. Water Supply Elevation is also not correct, as this term does not specifically refer to the height of the water surface. Therefore, option A, Water Surface Elevation, is the most accurate and appropriate choice.
