When the pressure of rock layers pressing on an aquifer makes the water in the aquifer rise to the surface without pumping, it is called artesian pressure. This natural pressure occurs when a confined aquifer is sandwiched between impermeable layers, causing the water to flow upward due to the pressure gradient.

When the pressure of rock layers pushes water from an aquifer up to the Earth's surface, it is called artesian flow. This natural process occurs when there is enough pressure in the aquifer to force the water upward through a well or borehole without the need for a pump.
Artesian spring. This occurs when an aquifer is confined between impermeable rock layers, creating pressure that forces the water to rise naturally to the surface without the need for pumping.
This process is called artesian flow or artesian well. It occurs when confined groundwater is under pressure and flows upward to the surface due to the pressure gradient created by the surrounding rock layers.
In an artesian formation, the rock layers are inclined or tilted, creating a confined aquifer with pressure that can cause water to rise naturally to the surface. In an ordinary aquifer, the rock layers are typically horizontal, allowing water to flow more freely without the same pressure dynamics as in artesian formations.

This process is called artesian flow. It occurs when the pressure from surrounding rock layers forces water in an aquifer to rise above the level of the aquifer, sometimes to the Earth's surface, without the need for pumping.
