The solid, impermeable layer that forms the boundary of a confined aquifer is known as an aquiclude. An aquitard is a layer that restricts water flow but is not completely impermeable. A spring is a natural outflow of groundwater to the surface. An artesian well is a well that taps into an artesian aquifer where water rises due to pressure from a confined aquifer. The water table is the upper surface of the saturated zone in an unconfined aquifer.
