Where does artesian water come from?
Artesian water is a phrase found on many bottled water containers and other refreshment products. Artesian water comes from an artesian water source – a confined aquifer in which the water is under enough pressure that, when tapped by a well, the underground water rises above the level of the aquifer surface. In some cases, the water in the aquifer is under sufficient pressure to push the water right up and over the ground surface. Such wells are called flowing artesian wells.
