An artesian basin is the stratum in the earth's crust in which one or more aquifers are enclosed above and below by an impermeable strata

The aquifer must be of the same permeable materials
The aquifer must be exposed in an area of sufficient precipitation
The aquifer must lie in between two impermeable rocks for it to retain water
The basin must dip towards a region where the land surface is lower than it is at the exposed end of the previous formation.
