Question:
Due to which of the following action do artesian wells discharge water naturally?
Due to which of the following action do artesian wells discharge water naturally?
Show Hint
Artesian wells:
\[
\boxed{
\text{Confined aquifer}
\rightarrow
\text{Hydrostatic pressure}
\rightarrow
\text{Natural flow}
}
\]

- Pumping
- Pressure
- Gravity
- Capillarity
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
An artesian well taps a confined aquifer where groundwater is under pressure.
When the well is drilled, this pressure forces the water upward, sometimes allowing it to flow naturally without pumping.
Hence,
\[
\boxed{\text{Pressure}}
\]
is the correct answer.
Therefore,
\[
\boxed{(B)}
\]
