An article, published in the Atlantic Monthly magazine, tells of a valley near the
small town of Fowler, Kansas, known as the Artesian Valley. The reason for the valley's
name is the artesian wells, or springs, that are plentiful there. As one longtime resident
describes it (or, at least, as he describes the way things used to be): "There were hundreds
of natural springs in this valley. If you drilled a well for your house, the natural water
pressure was enough to go through your hot-water system and out the shower head."
