Aptitude d'un aquifère captif à permettre le jaillissement spontané des puits qui l'atteignent, ou l'existence de sources artésiennes, créée par la conjonction de conditions hydrodynamiques et topographiques favorables : niveaux piézométriques initiaux situés au-dessus du sol.

OBS

Cette définition est cohérente avec le sens restreint - originel - de «puits artésiens», mais non avec son sens large lié seulement à la notion de captivité.
