  1. artesian well

    An artesian well is a type of water well where water flows freely to the surface without the need for a pump, due to natural pressure in an aquifer. This pressure is caused when the water in the aquifer is trapped between layers of impermeable rocks or clay, confining it under pressure. The well itself is drilled into this pressurized aquifer, and the pressure from the water forces it up the well and to the surface.
