A well in which the water level is higher than the top of the aquifer.
In hydrologic terms, a well drilled into a confined aquifer with enough hydraulic pressure for the water to flow to the surface without pumping. Also called a flowing well.
The result of a pressurized aquifer intersecting the surface or being penetrated by a pipe or conduit, from which water gushes without being pumped; also called a spring.
A well tapping a confined aquifer. Water in the well rises above the top of the aquifer under artesian pressure, but does not necessarily reach the land surface; a flowing artesian well is a well in which the water level is above the land surface.
A well in which water rises on its own.
A well bored in to a subterranean body of water, which, being under pressure, rises naturally to the surface without artificial pumping.
well in which water rises from the water table to the surface from pressure
a well drilled through impermeable strata into strata that receive water from a higher altitude so there is pressure to force the water to flow upward
a deep drilled well through which water is forced upward under pressure
a well that has been drilled into an aquifer in a location where the underground pressure is great enough for the water to rise inside the well
a well that has been drilled into an aquifer (or geologic formation) that contains water confined under pressure
A well derives its water from an artesian or confined aquifer.
a vertical bore hole in which a pipe-like structure is inserted into the ground so that it withdraws water from a confined aquifer (artesian aquifer)
A well in which water under natural pressure rises to the surface without being pumped.
a well that taps a confined aquifer where the water in the aquifer is under sufficient pressure to force the water to the surface.
A well in which the water level rises above the level of the aquifer and may flow at the surface. In a flowing well, water exits at the surface.
a well in which the water from the confined source aquifer rises above the upper limit of the aquifer.
A well drilled into a confined aquifer where enough pressure exists for the water to flow to the surface unaided.
a well made by a perpendicular boring into a confined aquifer
A well deriving its water from a confined aquifer in which the water level stands above the ground surface; synonymous with flowing well.
A well in which water from a confined aquifer rises above the regional water table of the aquifer.
Artesian Well - A well in an aquifer where the groundwater is confined under pressure and the water level stands above the top of the confined aquifer.
A well whose water is supplied by a artesian aquifer .
A shaft, or more commonly a borehole, within which, when the aquifer is penetrated, water rises within the well to a level above the top of the aquifer, i.e. above the base of a confining layer. The term is usually reserved for wells that naturally overflow at the ground surface; where the water level rises, but does not reach the ground surface, the term sub-artesian is sometimes used.
A well that penetrates a confined aquifer. The water level in these wells rises above the upper surface of the aquifer due to the pressure in the confined aquifer. If the water pressure is great enough, the well will overflow.
a well in which the water is under sufficient pressure that it rises partway up in the well without the assistance of pumping. A flowing artesian well will flow at the surface.
A well bored down to the point, usually at great depth, at which the water pressure is so great that the water is forced out at the surface.
well drilled through impermeable strata to reach water; pushed by pressure from the underground aquifer, this water naturally rises to the earth's surface
A well from which water naturally flows from an underground aquifer because of subterranean pressure.
A well that taps a confined aquifer and may have a pressure sufficient to support a flowing well.
a well that is drilled into an aquifer, relieving pressure and causing water to rise above the water table
Drilled well with water rising through the opening due to naturally occurring water pressure and not using the pipe usually inserted into the outlet to control the water flow.
