The diameter of the water column does not affect the pressure.
It is the height of the column that determines the pressure at the base.
(and also the barometric pressure and temperature).

The diameter of a water column can vary widely depending on the context in which it is measured. In scientific and engineering contexts, a water column often refers to a vertical column of water used to measure pressure, and its diameter can be defined by the specific apparatus used, such as a tube or well. For example, in a standard laboratory setting, a water column might have a diameter of a few centimeters. In larger applications, like water tanks or reservoirs, the diameter can range from meters to several meters wide.
Water column head is expressed either as the height of the column ... 6 meters here ... or else as the pressure at the bottom ... 58.842 kPa here. 'Kg' can't be a unit of water column head, and the diameter of the column is irrelevant.
The column with the smallest diameter has greater pressure and the column with a larger diameter has less pressure.

Well, honey, the diameter of a column of water doesn't give a hoot about the pressure at the bottom - it's all about the height of the column. The pressure at the bottom is solely determined by the weight of the water above it, not how fat or skinny the column is. So, don't worry about measuring the diameter, just focus on how tall that water tower is!

Head pressure is created by a column (depth) of water in a container. Pipe is considered a container. Diameter is not a factor. The higher the column of water, the more psi it creates. Multiply column height of water by .434 to get psi of water.
"WC" on a gas line typically stands for "water column," which is a unit of measurement used to express pressure in a gas system. It represents the height of a column of water that would exert the same pressure as the gas being measured.
You need to know how high the water column is to calculate the pressure it exerts at its base! For example, a column of water 1 metre deep would exert a pressure of 9.81 kPa at its base (density x gravity x depth - 1000 * 9.81 * 1). This would be equal to approx 1.42 PSI.
Sea water will exert more pressure than river water due to its higher density. The pressure exerted by a fluid is directly proportional to its density, so sea water, being more dense than river water, will exert a greater pressure.

Yes, water exerts pressure on the hull of the submarine.
