Hi. Here in Newfoundland, Canada and Artesian well is drilled down at
usually around 200', a casing is put in the drilled hole and water is
pushed up through the ground using a pump in most cases.

If it is pumped, it is not an artesian well... An artesian well can be
drilled or natural, but the key ingredient is that it must be under
enough natural pressure for the water to come to the surface on its
own...
