Question

What is the speciality of the Artesian Water?

(a) Has a characteristic colour

(b) Has a characteristic odour

(c) Requires no pumping

(d) Requires special type of pumping

I have been asked this question in an interview for internship.

My query is from Types of Aquifer and Aquifer Functions topic in division Groundwater of Engineering Geology

Answer 1

Right answer is (c) Requires no pumping

To explain I would say: When water is tapped from Artesian aquifers, it rushes up to and to great heights. Such wells are called Artesian wells, or flowing wells and the type of groundwater obtained from them, which often needs no pumping, as Artesian Water.
