That is called "artesian water" .That is called "artesian water" .
Artesian wells formed when pressure is great enough to push any water to the surface.
An artesian well is a pumpless water source that utilizes pipes that are underground to allow water that is under pressure to rise to the surface for use. One needs to use porous stone sandwiched between two layers of a substance such as shale, that is impermeable.
That is true.
artesian well
Naturally flowing water wells are called "Artesian" wells.An artesian well
That is called "artesian water" .That is called "artesian water" .
if the water rises above the surface without any help, it's an artesan well
No! It's called artesian if it IS under an impermeable layer, but just surface or ground water without it.
artesian wells
Artesian wells formed when pressure is great enough to push any water to the surface.
According to Christopherson's Geosystems 7th ed., Artesian water is pressurized groundwater that rises in a well or a rock structure above the local water table and may flow out onto the ground without pumping
That is 'artesian' not artisan. An artisan is a person who is expert in a trade. An artesian well is one where subterranean pressure forces the water to the surface.
The word artesian means a well which is drilled at an angle, so that the natural pressure keeps the water flowing, with little need for pumping. Following is an example of the word used in a sentence. The artesian well has been one of the most useful inventions for agriculture.
A well that allows water to rise without a pump is an artesian well. This is usually a very narrow well drilled into strata capable of pushing water to the surface by internal hydrostatic pressure.
under high pressure
An artesian well is a pumpless water source that utilizes pipes that are underground to allow water that is under pressure to rise to the surface for use. One needs to use porous stone sandwiched between two layers of a substance such as shale, that is impermeable.
