Answer 1

To obtain water, an **artesian well** must tap into an aquifer. The difference between the original water-table level and the water level in the pumped well is called the **drawdown**. In order for the water supply of the wells to be replenished, water from precipitation and run-off must **recharge** the zone of saturation. A **well** contains water that is under pressure, which may cause the well water to spurt into the air.
