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 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
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
