Wow..I never would have thought of using a juicepack as a demo for pressure for artesian wells, what a simple analogy!

Sir , this is the best explanation

I've had an artesian well for 10 years now and I just found out how it works. Good explanation.

Love this video Ranger James. My Yr 10 geography class would like to thank you for explaining artesian wells so well (pardon the pun!) Love the hat.

According to my understanding of an artesian well, I believe your emphasis was misplaced. The two layers that confine the aquifer do not create the pressure. The pressure is created by the water in the aquifer that is at a higher elevation than the location of the artesian well. You sort of cover this when you mention the water seeping through the ground and traveling horizontally to the aquifer, but you only mentioned this as a means of replenishing the aquifer, which is true. Everything you said was true. It's just you implied that all you need for an artesian well is two confining layers, but what you need is an aquifer that occupies different elevations. I'm not a geologist or a hydrologist, so this information is worth exactly what you paid for it.

Noah's flood is making more sense to me.

Pretty good demonstration it's part correct and incorrect I have an 8" Artisan Well on my property in Argentina with mineral water quality....the water is between two impermeable layers (You are correct on that part) but it's being pushed up because it's coming from a higher level, basically that's all there is to it! All artesian well waters are coming from a higher levels that's what creates the pressure!
