a well drilled into a confined aquifer with enough hydraulic pressure for the water to flow to the surface without pumping Also called a flowing well
a vertical bore hole in which a pipe-like structure is inserted into the ground so that it withdraws water from a confined aquifer (artesian aquifer)
Water held under pressure in porous rock or soil confined by impermeable geologic formations An artesian well is free flowing See confined aquifer
a well from which the water is forced up out of the ground by natural pressure (artésien )
A well that produces a flow of water due to the pressure of underground water storage
A well that penetrates an aquifer containing water under pressure Water in the well will rise above the water level in the aquifer; if the water pressure is great enough, the well will overflow See "Potentiometric surface," "Confined aquifer "
A well obtaining its water from an artesian or confined aquifer in which the water level in the well rises above the top of the aquifer The water level in a flowing artesian well rises above the land surface
A well from which water naturally flows from an underground aquifer because of subterranean pressure
A well where although the water table is below the ground level, geological pressures force the water up to the surface when a borehole is sunk into the water bearing rock (which underlies an impervious rock formation ) Ground water can therefore be obtained without the need for pumping
A well drilled into a confined aquifer where enough pressure exists for the water to flow to the surface unaided Top
