Answer to Question 1

Answer: A flowing artesian well has water that is under enough pressure to flow and/or gush at the surface. In a nonflowing artesian well is a system where there is enough pressure at depth to cause the water to rise in the well above the level of the water table, but not to make it all the way to the surface.
