artesian

listen to the pronunciation of artesian
English - English
rising to the surface under its own hydrostatic pressure
n. a very deep bored well. water rises due to underground pressure
well a well that is supplied with water rising from an underground water-saturated rock layer (aquifer) The water rises from the aquifer under its own pressure
a geological structural feature in which water is confined under pressure
Refers to ground water confined under hydrostatic pressure
A condition produced when an aquifer is confined by layers of low-permeability and the water level in a well rises above the level of the local water table; if it rises as far as the land surface, it is a flowing artesian well
Of, being, or concerning an aquifer in which water rises to the surface due to pressure from overlying water
Under pressure such that when wells penetrate the aquifer water will rise to the ground surface without the need for pumping
Ground water that is confined beneath a low permeable geologic formation, and is under pressure
(of water) rising to the surface under internal hydrostatic pressure; "an artesian well"; "artesian pressure
Where water moves under pressure through completely flooded cavities Much of Australia is underlain by Artesian strata Geology Ref TW
(of water) rising to the surface under internal hydrostatic pressure; "an artesian well"; "artesian pressure"
{s} of or pertaining to an artesian well
Used to describe a well in which the water level stands above the top of the aquifer tapped by the well A flowing artesian well is one in which the water level is above the land surface
Of or pertaining to Artois (anciently called Artesium), in France
artesian bore
A bore-hole drilled in an artesian basin to produce an artificial artesian well
artesian bores
plural form of artesian bore
artesian water
Water from an artesian well
artesian well
An aquifer in which water rises to the surface under its own hydrostatic pressure
artesian well
A bore-hole in an artesian basin
artesian wells
plural form of artesian well
artesian 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)
artesian well
A well deriving its water from a confined aquifer in which the water level stands above the ground surface; synonymous with flowing well
artesian well
a well drilled through impermeable strata into strata that receive water from a higher altitude so there is pressure to force the water to flow upward
artesian well
a well in which the water level rises above the level of the aquifer and may flow at the surface In a flowing well, water exits at the surface
artesian well
A deep well in which water is under pressure and rises to the top without being pumped
artesian well
A well in which the water level is higher than the top of the aquifer
artesian well
A well in which water under natural pressure rises to the surface without being pumped
artesian well
A well drilled into a confined aquifer where enough pressure exists for the water to flow to the surface unaided Top
artesian well
Groundwater that is able to flow to the Earth's surface under its own pressure
artesian well
Water held under pressure in porous rock or soil confined by impermeable geologic formations An artesian well is free flowing See confined aquifer
artesian well
a well from which the water is forced up out of the ground by natural pressure (artésien )
artesian well
A well that produces a flow of water due to the pressure of underground water storage
artesian well
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 "
artesian well
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
artesian well
a well made by a perpendicular boring into a confined aquifer
artesian well
well made by boring deeply into the ground and water flows up due to internal pressure
artesian well
A well that taps a confined aquifer
artesian well
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
artesian well
A well from which water naturally flows from an underground aquifer because of subterranean pressure
artesian well
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
