The pressure exerted by rock layers above and below an aquifer that forces water to rise to the Earth's surface is called "hydrostatic pressure." This pressure is a result of the weight of the overlying rock and water, which can lead to artesian flow if the aquifer is confined. In such cases, water can rise spontaneously to the surface through wells or natural springs without the need for pumping.
