Question

artesian wells are a unique feature associated with confined aquifers. these wells tap into groundwater that is under pressure. what will happen when such a well is drilled? the quality of the water will become poor, requiring extensive treatment before use. the water table will rise higher and higher leading to flooding. the water will rise to the surface or even flow continuously due to the pressure. the well will only produce a small amount of water, making it unreliable.

Explanation:

Artesian wells tap into pressurized groundwater in confined aquifers. The pressure forces the water to rise to the surface or flow continuously. There is no indication that water quality will deteriorate, the water - table will rise to cause flooding, or that only a small amount of water will be produced.

Answer:

The water will rise to the surface or even flow continuously due to the pressure.
