Geography | Subsurface water under sufficient pressure to cause it to rise above the bottom of some fissure or other opening in the confining bed that overlies the aquifer. Source: European Union. (references) |
Hydrologic | Ground water that is under pressure when tapped by a well and is able to rise above the level at which it is first encountered. It may or may not flow out at ground level. The pressure in such an aquifer commonly is called artesian pressure, and the formation containing artesian water is an artesian aquifer or confined aquifer. See flowing well. (references) |
Mining | A. Ground water that is under sufficient pressure to rise above the level at which it is encountered by a well, but that does not necessarily rise to or above the surface of the ground b. Ground water that is confined within a permeable bed and that rises under pressure to approx. the height of the intake. If the outlet (well or spring) is appreciably below the height of the intake, the water will flow out under pressure. If even with or above the height of the intake, thewater will rise in the well but it will not flow out. (references) |
