Answer:

This is an artesian well.

Step-by-step explanation:

An artesian well is simply a well that doesn't require a pump to bring water to the surface. This occurs when there is enough positive pressure in the aquifer to bring the water to the surface. An artesian aquifer is confined between impermeable rocks or clay which causes this positive pressure.

Well, what's a well? Basically, to obtain water found in an aquifer, a well is a hole drilled into the earth. To pull water from the soil, a pipe and a pump are used and a screen filters out un Wells are drilled into the rock as deep as 1,000 feet to enter the water. ... Through a well pump, water flows through this casing. Above level, the well structure is closed off. From a pipe connected between the casing and a pressure tank (generally located in the basement of your house), the water then reaches your home.
