Answer:

Artesian well

Step-by-step explanation:

Artesian well is a kind of large hole made in the ground that captures water when reaching an aquifer sheet and performs its work through the pressure made by the stream.

It is a kind of tubular well where the water pressure is sufficient to perform the mechanical work that would make it reach the surface without the need for pumping. All you have to do is install a device to control the water flow.
