Abstract
The present inventive concept provides for a method of harnessing artesian aquifer power. The method includes obtaining weather data and artesian aquifer data for a geolocation. Weather features and artesian aquifer features are extracted from the obtained weather data and artesian aquifer data, respectively. Compression and decompression events are predicted for water in an artesian well at the geolocation by mapping the weather features and the artesian aquifer features. A plurality of piezoelectric springs connected to the artesian well are modulated to maximize artesian aquifer energy harnessed based on the predicted compression and decompression events.
