Answer:
artesian well is simply a well that doesn't require a pump to bring water to the surface. This occurs when there is enough positive pressure in the aquifer to bring the water to the surface. An artesian aquifer is confined between impermeable rocks or clay which causes this positive pressure.

Answer:
An artesian aquifer has trapped water, surrounded by layers of impermeable rock or clay which apply positive pressure to the water contained within the aquifer. ... The recharging of aquifers happens when the water table at its recharge zone is at a higher elevation than the head of the well.
