Groundwater can reach the surface through springs, where water flows naturally to the surface due to pressure or through seepage. It can also reach the surface through artesian wells, where pressure in an underground aquifer forces water to rise above the level of the aquifer. Lastly, groundwater can reach the surface through human-made structures like wells and boreholes.

A water well is a structure created to access groundwater for drinking, irrigation, or other purposes. It is typically formed by drilling a hole into the ground to reach an underground water source, such as an aquifer, and installing a pump system to bring the water to the surface for use.
A spring is a natural source of water that flows to the surface from an underground aquifer, while a well is a man-made hole drilled or dug into the ground to access groundwater. Springs occur naturally when water from an aquifer flows to the surface, while wells require human intervention to access water.
