[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 4015905, member: 26737"] The only difference between a water well and an artesian water well is where the well is located. Let’s say you have a piece of land where the water table is about 10’ under the surface, and there’s a 15’ deep bowl in the middle of it with a layer of impermeable rock just under the surface (so the water can’t come to the surface naturally—that would be a spring, not a well). If you drill a water well outside the bowl, you’ll have to mechanically lift the water the ten feet to the surface. If you drill another water well in the bowl, the water will flow up to the surface on its own, because it’s five feet below the water table (and water tends to find its own level). The well outside the bowl is a normal water well, and the well in the bowl is an artesian water well. It’s the exact same water, it’s just that the artesian well is letting gravity do the lifting.
