From a Google search;
An artesian well is a water well that doesn't require a pump to bring water to the surface; this occurs when there is
enough pressure in the aquifer.
What's the difference between an artesian well and a flowing artesian well ?
- An artesian well is a well that taps into a confined aquifer.
- A flowing well is under pressure, causing water to rise above the top of the aquifer where its tapped, but does not necessarily above the
land surface .
