An artesian well is one in which water
Answer: D
Correct answer: rises above ground level without pumping
An artesian well taps a confined aquifer whose piezometric surface lies above the ground at that point, so the water flows at the surface under its own pressure. The requirements are a confined aquifer, an intake area at higher elevation, and a well site below the piezometric surface. Where that surface lies below ground the well is confined but sub-artesian, and pumping is still needed.
