Artesian Aquifer
An artesian aquifer is a confined aquifer containing groundwater under positive pressure. An artesian aquifer has trapped water, surrounded by layers of impermeable rock or clay, which apply positive pressure to the water contained within the aquifer. If a well were to be sunk into an artesian aquifer, water in the well-pipe would rise to a height corresponding to the point where hydrostatic equilibrium is reached. A well drilled into such an aquifer is called an ''artesian well''. If water reaches the ground surface under the natural pressure of the aquifer, the well is termed a ''flowing artesian well''. Fossil water aquifers can also be artesian if they are under sufficient pressure from the surrounding rocks, similar to how many newly tapped oil wells are pressurized. From the previous statement, it can be inferred that not all aquifers are artesian (i.e., water table aquifers occur where the groundwater level at the top of the aquifer is at equilibrium with atmosph ...

Artesian Well Park
Artesian Well Park is a small urban park in downtown Salt Lake City that contains a natural artesian spring fed by an underground aquifer. It occupies a quarter acre on the southwest corner of the intersection between 800 South and 500 East. People from all over the surrounding area have been coming to get water for free from this spring for over 100 years. History Historical records show that the spring has been in use going back at least to pioneer times when men watered their oxen hauling granite to the Latter Day Saint temple site in Salt Lake City from the quarry in Little Cottonwood Canyon. In 1936 Salt Lake City filed a water claim for a flow of 2-20 gallons per minute and listed the priority date as 1890. The site of the spring was turned into its current form as Artesian Well Park in 1979 when Salt Lake City invested $79,450 to add sidewalks and benches and to reconfigure the spring to flow out of spigots in a brick casing. The well casing and plumbing were upgraded fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
