Question

A pump is not used to raise groundwater to the surface in areas where artesian wells are located because the water in artesian wells is

Answer 1

In Artesian wells the water is trapped in a porous material such as sand and then it flows, I guess

Answer 2

Answer: Under high pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

• Artesian well is constructed whenever there is high pressure in the aquifer.

• An aquifer is defined as a geologic layer which has the ability to hold water.

• In artesian well, the ground water reaches to the surface on its own as the water in this area is under high pressure.

• Thus, we do not need a pump to bring up the water to the surface in such areas and the well that is constructed is the artesian well.
