the metric unit of pressure is the Pascal (Pa) ... one Newton of force over one square meter
a cubic meter of water has a mass of a thousand kg (a metric ton)
... it exerts a force of 9.81 kN
stacked 100 high, the pressure at the bottom is ... 981 kPa

take a 1 inch area pipe down.
pressure=densitywater*height*9.8N/kg
pressure=densitywater*height*9.8N/kg
