Artesian wells are found in ________

A Sedimentary rocks
B Igneous rocks
C Metamorphic rocks
D None of these

Correct Answer: Sedimentary rocks

Artesian wells are found in sedimentary rocks. Artesian well, well from which water flows under natural pressure without pumping. It is dug or drilled wherever a gently dipping, permeable rock layer (such as sandstone) receives water along its outcrop at a level higher than the level of the surface of the ground at the well site.
