When the faucet is closed, the water pressure is at a maximum.
When you open the faucet, water rushes out because of the high pressure.
But the pressure drops because youve created a leak, so the flow rate
drops off.

Potential is highest when no current flows, as soon as current flows, 
pressure drops due to internal losses and line losses.
Works the same with electricity, and air lines.
