Conditions necessary for the formation of artesian well
- The aquifer must lie between impermeable rock to retain water
- The aquifer must outcrop in a region which is a source of water like a rain area beneath a lake to have sufficient water
- The aquifer must dip from a region of water intake and form a broad syncline to exert enough pressure
- The mouth of the well must be lower than the intake area to ensure water comes out of the well on its own
