"Breaking Through: The Moment the Earth Releases Its Water **The Well's Triumph: Releasing a Confined Aquifer** This dramatic eruption of water marks the successful intersection of human engineering with a specific pressurized geological formation. The drill has penetrated a confined aquifer where water is trapped between impermeable rock layers under natural pressure greater than atmospheric. When the seal is broken this pent-up energy forces the water upward often creating a flow that can reach the surface without the immediate need for pumpsa phenomenon sometimes called an artesian effect."
