The process of water being squeezed up to the Earth's surface from an aquifer due to pressure from rock layers above and below is called artesian flow. In an artesian aquifer, the water is under pressure, and when a well is drilled into it, the water can rise to the surface without the need for pumping. This occurs when the aquifer is confined by impermeable layers that trap the water.

This process is called artesian flow. It occurs when the pressure from surrounding rock layers forces water in an aquifer to rise above the level of the aquifer, sometimes to the Earth's surface, without the need for pumping.
When the pressure of rock layers pressing on an aquifer from above and below squeezes water up to the Earth's surface, it's called an "artesian well." In this process, the confined aquifer is under pressure, allowing water to rise naturally without the need for pumping. This phenomenon occurs when the water is trapped between impermeable layers of rock or sediment. As a result, the water can flow freely to the surface when tapped.
