artesian groundwater Explanation: Wody naporowe, woda podziemna znajdująca się pod ciśnieniem hydrostatycznym, w przypadku której położenie zwierciadła jest wymuszone przez układ nieprzepuszczalnych warstw skalnych. Po nawierceniu warstwy wody naporowej, następuje samoczynny wypływ wody na powierzchnię terenu (wody artezyjskie) lub zwierciadło wody podnosi się, ale pozostaje ona pod powierzchnią terenu (wody subartezyjskie). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 41 mins (2017-06-07 13:42:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Artesian water (artesian pressure) Groundwater 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. - http://solareis.anl.gov/glossacro/dsp_wordpopup.cfm?word_id=... |

confined groundwater Explanation: Groundwater separated from atmospheric pressure by relatively impermeable material is termed confined groundwater. (View schematic.) When such zones are penetrated by wells, the water rises above the point at which it was first found because a confined aquifer is under pressure exceeding that of atmospheric pressure. Confining beds vary in permeability and, hence, in their ability to confine artesian aquifers. http://www.ngwa.org/Fundamentals/hydrology/Pages/Confined-or... |
