Great video... may I make one tiny criticism? Having the exit of the tube into a collecting jar below the level of the source of the water produces a siphon effect which increases the flow rate above that which you'd otherwise get. If you had done the same thing with the higher level water source, having evacuated the air from the tube, that too would drain purely from the siphon effect. So your explanation is fine, but the demo is a bit wonky.

i understand that some siphoning is occurring that's probably for sure, but how noticeable is the effect when we are talking about water in an aquifer? wouldn't the resistance from the sand kind of stump the effect a good amount? maybe even cause it to break at some point? especially since the further away it gets from the hole the harder it is to keep the siphon going. again am assuming there is some siphoning going on but am just asking if a siphon is actually an effective method to pump in this situation, this being a small scale probably yes, but what about a real confined aquifer? plus i think the pressure in the modelled confined aquifer was enough to demonstrate it can climb to well above the height of the ground (despite the small scale), which is just like real life. but again again the draining into the jar probably had some siphon action going. i guess what am asking is how strong is the siphon action and where are it's limits? is the sand not fine enough to disrupt the siphon?

Cone of Depression sounds like a really upsetting DnD spell.

My family lives in an area in the Nebraska Sandhills where for about about 5 square miles it is perfect for having an Artesian well or flow and well as we call it. We have have over 10 i believe on the property, the oldest dating back to 1892 and none of them have ever stopped flowing throughout their lifetime. One of them is powerful enough that when it was dug in the 40's they had put an extra 20 feet of pipe on the drill stem to cap it off before cutting it and even then the water flowed out. There is also a 4 inch well in our lake that fills it up too.

I've been looking around a bit and so far I couldn't even find anything about making yarn from fine steel wool.

Fracking's main purpose is oil, not gas. And considering that oil is less dense than water, fracking's function is simpler to understand than water wells. All you have to do is shoot water and sand into the source rock so the oil can come out and float out.

Oil is pumped out of the ground via pump jacks that have a pump attached at the bottom and the pump jack rotates which causes the pump to pull the oil to the surface through the tubing. The pump jack is basically like a tire pump.

I think you clearly showed the effect of the pressure. but once you put the tube in the jar, you put the hose down below the aquafer level, causing siphon effects. Just something to watch out for.

Hi Cody, unfortunately you put the the end of the tube at the same level as the bottom of the aquarium. This way the water will drain itself since the the flowing water in the tube creates a lower pressure. Just like you can siphon your cars gas tank with a tube and sucking on it if on end is lower than the gasoline level . You should have put a vertical tube in the sand and show the Confined Aquifer Model by the water rising in it.

The well is pressured regardless. You are putting water under pressure. He adds enough weight to get it out. Sure, putting the collection at the same level of the ground allowed for the water to stick and continue to flow faster for longer. But this still properly shows the concept miniaturized. Think of the amount of pressure real aquifers (and other gas/liquid chambers trapped underground) are under, and how large of an area they can encompass.

interconnected vessels are indeed making the draining faster isnt it, thought about that too, the pressure from the "soil" just had to push the waterlevel above the highest point in the pipe, after that water should drain itself regardless

An aquifer is groundwater stored in sediment beneath the earth. Many places get their water by digging into the aquifer, collecting the water, cleaning it, and pumping it into water towers. Water towers are connected to the water your get through your faucet. The weight of the water in the towers, which are higher up than your sink, push the water into your house when you "turn on" (open a valve in) your faucet. The video is demonstrating that confined aquifers have a hard time replenishing water due to the weight of the land above them pressurizing the sand and preventing it from re-absorbing water, meaning if there was a drought and people were taking from confined aquifers as a source of water, it may eventually run out.
