artesian
Artesian refers to a type of water system, typically a well, where water is confined under pressure in an aquifer, a natural underground layer, often of sand or gravel, which contains water. This pressure can cause the water to rise to the ground surface naturally without the need for pumping. The term "artesian" comes from the town of Artois in France, where the first known artesian well was drilled by Carthusian monks in 1126.
