água freática ou água de poço freático

Explanation:
Pelas definições nos sites abaixo diria assim.

- A water well is an excavation or structure created in the ground by digging, driving, boring or drilling to access groundwater in underground aquifers. The well water is drawn by an electric submersible pump, a trash pump, a vertical turbine pump, a handpump or a mechanical pump (e.g. from a water-pumping wind mill[1]). It can also be drawn up using containers, such as buckets, that are raised mechanically or by hand.

- Poços Artesianos - Poço Artesiano
poco-artesiano.info/mos/view/Poços_Artesianos/ - Em cache Os poços freáticos são aqueles cujo intuito é achar a camada que retém a água freática. Existem alguns tipos diferentes e, dois deles são : os poços rasos e os profundos. Os poços rasos são os mais simples, cavados com pouca profundidade. Isso acontece de acordo com a distância em que se encontra a água freática.
