Note: Artesian is a term originally applied to boreholes in Artois in France from which a constant supply of water was obtained because groundwater spontaneously discharged from them. It is suspected that the term was then applied to confined aquifers into which a number of artesian boreholes had been sunk. The term artesian aquifer is probably a misnomer and the term confined aquifer should rather be used.
