Artesian Wells.
Water can be brought to the surface, natural air pressure, providing it is no deeper than 34 feet. (Air pressure allows for this).
Water any deeper than 34 feet, requires a pressure system to bring it to the surface.

How do artesian wells form?
Artesian wells form when water is confined between layers of impermeable rock or clay, creating pressure that forces the water to rise to the surface naturally. This pressure comes from the weight of the water in the aquifer and the geological structure of the surrounding rock formations. When a well is drilled into this pressurized aquifer, the water flows upward without the need for pumping.
What is Water that doesn't soak into the ground or evaporate but flows across the ground but flows across earth surface is called?
Surface water.
Groundwater sometimes flows out of the surface in artesian wells?
Yes, in artesian wells, groundwater under pressure naturally rises to the surface without the need for pumping. This occurs when there is a confined aquifer with enough pressure to push the water up through the well. Artesian wells are a result of the geological conditions that trap and pressurize the groundwater.
How can groundwater transition into surface water?
Groundwater can transition into surface water through a process called discharge, where water from underground aquifers flows out to rivers, lakes, or oceans. This can happen naturally through springs, seeps, or through human activities like pumping water from wells.
What are two ways that ground water gets to the surface on earth?
Groundwater can reach the surface through springs, where water from an aquifer flows naturally to the Earth's surface. Groundwater can also be brought up through wells, where people drill into the ground to pump water from underground aquifers.
