Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A well that does not penetrate below the groundwater table will not have water in it and is therefore called a dry well. Artesian wells penetrate below the groundwater table and tap into pressurized water sources. Hot springs are natural features where groundwater is heated and emerges at the surface. Unconfined aquifers are porous rock or sediment layers where water can flow and be extracted through wells that penetrate the groundwater table.
