Artesian

…The water level of artesian groundwater is usually higher than that of unpressurized groundwater, but this may not be the case depending on the geological conditions.

A basin with artesian groundwater is called an artesian basin, and the Great Artesian Basin in Australia and the Kazusa region of Chiba Prefecture are typical examples.
