Question

Which statements describe attributes of an artisan well? Select two options

Answer 1

Answer:

B. uses natural pressure

E. has groundwater stuck between impermeable layers

Explanation:

Artesian well has the same attributes of having the presence of water like that of a regular well. The major difference is that the artesian well has water which comes out to the surface without the application of pressure. This is due to the presence of a positive pressure within the underlying rocks and its environs which forces the water out to the surface.

It has natural pressure and doesn’t require a pump and it also has groundwater stuck between impermeable layers.
