   Linked via "artesian aquifer"

   Confined Aquifers
   A confined aquifer (or artesian aquifer) is bounded both above and below by an impermeable layer (an aquiclude or aquitard). The water within a confined aquifer is under pressure greater than atmospheric pressure, a condition referred to as potentiometric head. If the potentiometric surface lies above the ground surface, the [w…

   Linked via "artesian"

   Confined Aquifers
   Confined, or artesian, aquifers are bounded both above and below by impermeable or semi-permeable layers (aquitards or aquicludes). Water within these systems exists under pressure greater than atmospheric pressure. The pressure head is directly proportional to the elevation difference between the point of measurement and the [recharge zone](/entries/recharge-zone…
