Sir , this is the best explanation
Wow..I never would have thought of using a juicepack as a demo for pressure for artesian wells, what a simple analogy!
totally efficient and simple to demonstrate two impermeable layers.
What a very informative guy! He should have his own channel
bro,ur the best,i understood so easily and didnt even had to play back once
Love this video Ranger James. My Yr 10 geography class would like to thank you for explaining artesian wells so well (pardon the pun!) Love the hat.
LOVE THE HAT!!!!!!!!!! ;))))))))))))))))))))))))
YES I AGREE MR BARBER LFG WHAT A LEGEND
THANK YOU SO MUCH RANGER JAMES
GO ON MR BARBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've had an artesian well for 10 years now and I just found out how it works. Good explanation.
Hey MasterKenfucius, would you be kind enough to upload a video of the same? Thank you!
@@samarjyoti-ray Why would you want to see the same video from someone else? That makes no sense. Learn from the man on the video.
@@MasterKenfucius Sorry for any confusion! I was just hoping to gain a different perspective or perhaps additional insights. Nonetheless, I'll rather learn from this video as you suggested. Thanks for your input!
This is a completely wrong explanation.
@@arminius6506 could you explain why?
Ranger James is such a great guy 👍
Ranger James rocks!
your not wrong
This so helpful for our school lesson today! It was wonderful to meet you yesterday
Great 👍 from Bharat 🇮🇳
Thanks, that was a great presentation
Thank you so much, you explain it so well!
Such a knowledgeable ranger ...
Sir, Great video. The example was creative and original. Best wishes
Thank you for the no nonsense explanation.
best exlplanation thank you so much sir
Thank you for explaining this in an a way that my middle schoolers will understand. :)
Glad it was helpful!
and me, a 30 yr old architect lol
Very good explanation. Thank u
Great explanation!
Well explained
;)
great job good sir
Good explanation 🎉
Lucky enough to live in a town that's supplied by a giant artesian aquifer. No chemicals and still supplies us with water even with 0 power. There's even a water company that bottles what we get out of our tap and sells it in stores. Amazing, clean water!
clean water yes ,but the well was concrated ,no one answers why they concreted it, because this happens in New Jersey
ki a fasz mer erre valaszolni gyere gyere no bul sith !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow!!
that koolaid demonstration is genius
I found this helpful
Agreed
Pretty good demonstration it's part correct and incorrect I have an 8" Artisan Well on my property in Argentina with mineral water quality....the water is between two impermeable layers (You are correct on that part) but it's being pushed up because it's coming from a higher level, basically that's all there is to it! All artesian well waters are coming from a higher levels that's what creates the pressure!
Hello from Canada! 🙂. Thank you for your video! I grew up in the country with a well, I never really knew what it was, it was just there, and we had water. And we have a well where we live now, my boyfriend and I... and I hear people saying that we don't have to save water as much with a well because it goes back to the ground, gets filtered and up it goes again! Is that actually true? And we just got back from a month's vacation and you could SMELL the sulfur when we turned the faucet on! "Rotten eggs smell", my boyfriend would say! Is that a good thing for a well? What happens to a well if you don't use it enough?
I've never liked wasting water, but if this is actually true or some part true, that it isn't as bad "using more water, or "not using enough water" when you have a well, I may have a community program I'd like to work on at home. Also, macro and microplastics, or synthetic clothing fibers that end up in the oceans, can they come from wells too? I do live about 4 kilometers (2.5 miles or so) from the Gatineau River... does my well water go there? 🤷♀️ if so then I should probably start filtering it! Right? There's enough plastic in this world!
Any info you could give me would be greatly appreciated! Or if you know who could! Thanks! 🙏
Hey there! I’m currently studying about water management and very interested in artesian wells. As long as I’m surfing through the internet, this comment is the closest thing that I could find in relation between artesian well and sulfuric water. I can confirm that in my town (Merauke, Indonesia) we also have similar case as what you have experienced. We have lots of artesian wells that was built by the Dutch colonials back in 20th century. People often use it for washing clothes and showers, but never for drink. I too still have a lot to learn regarding this phenomena. May I know the exact location of this particular well?
Are there wells like these that are dammed or have water stored?
I'm not to sure what exactly what you're asking, but a lot of homes (mine for example) use these types of wells when possible, damming them like traditional dams would defeat the purpose and benefits of taking advantage of this type of well, i.e. not needing to spend money on water storage, pricey pump equipment or, (sometimes, depending on location) water purification systems. Now, towns and cities certainly have water treatment plants and reservoirs but that's out of necessity.
The only other thing I can think of pertaining to damming an artesian well would be "plugging" one where the hole to an artesian well is quite literally just... plugged up so that the water stops flowing out of it so that the land can be developed or so that a new well can be dug elsewhere or perhaps to even help mitigate waste water.
@@Kurokubi glad for the answer because I was thinking the water would go to waste ofc i'm thinking about really dry places, I didn't know u can plug it either
I was also wondering about collection and storage because I'm assuming its also finite in terms of water
a the question az artesian water healthy for a body ?????/
Isn’t arsenic still found in this water?
According to my understanding of an artesian well, I believe your emphasis was misplaced. The two layers that confine the aquifer do not create the pressure. The pressure is created by the water in the aquifer that is at a higher elevation than the location of the artesian well. You sort of cover this when you mention the water seeping through the ground and traveling horizontally to the aquifer, but you only mentioned this as a means of replenishing the aquifer, which is true. Everything you said was true. It's just you implied that all you need for an artesian well is two confining layers, but what you need is an aquifer that occupies different elevations. I'm not a geologist or a hydrologist, so this information is worth exactly what you paid for it.
You got it right buddy I have an artesian well on my property and it's being replenished from the snow melt on the Andes mountains here in Argentina!👍
Noah's flood is making more sense to me.
Ranger James is hot
