Literally anything in the ground can cause this. If the colour is red or orange then there is possibly too much iron. You should ALWAYS have a sample lab tested before consuming it.

When is a well an artesian well?

An artesian aquifer is a confined aquifer containing groundwater under positive pressure. This causes the water level in a well to rise to a point where hydrostatic equilibrium has been reached. A well drilled into such an aquifer is called an artesian well.


Is artesian well water better than other well water?

Artesian water is usually cleaner than other well water


What causes pressure in an artesian well?

An artesian well is a pumpless water source that utilizes pipes that are underground to allow water that is under pressure to rise to the surface for use. One needs to use porous stone sandwiched between two layers of a substance such as shale, that is impermeable.


What is well water that flows to the surface under its own natural pressure?

That is called "artesian water" .That is called "artesian water" .

What is an artesian water?

What causes the water in an artesian well to spout upwards?

The term artesian means that the water is contained in an underground aquifer and/or reservoir. The fact that it is spouting means that it has artesian pressure and is a flowingartesian well. The geology of the site determines the amount of pressure on the reservoir and not all artesian wells have enough, or any pressure to spout. The pressure comes from the weight of ground structures and ground water pressing on and around the underground reservoir.


What is the difference between artesian springs and wells?

a spring flows out water and an artesian well would gush out water
