Explanation:

The pressure at a given depth in a static liquid is a result the weight of the liquid acting on a unit area at that depth plus any pressure acting on the surface of the liquid. P= Patm (atmospheric pressure) dgh (pressure due to water)
D- Density of water; G- Acceleration due to gravity; H- height of water column
As altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases, and the total pressure as a result also falls. Also, the pressure due to the liquid alone (not total) at a given depth depends only upon the density of the liquid ρ and the distance below the surface of the liquid h.
The pressure at a given depth is independent of direction - it is the same in all directions. Hence, it does not depend on the width of the water vessel
