T. weniger als 1 m ein, örtlich treten auch artesisch gespannte Verhältnisse auf (Ostrand Lüsekamp). In den Hangbereichen herrschen Flurabstände von mehreren Metern bis hin zu rund 18 - 20 m auf der Hochfläche.

This is how I have translated the rest so far (subject to revision): In the valley locations of the Buschbach, Maas and Schwalm the depth to water table is less than 1 metre in parts, with "artesisch gespannte Verhältnisse" also occurring locally (the eastern edge of Lüsekamp). In the areas of the slopes there are depth to water tables of several metres, increasing up to around 18 - 20 m on the plateau.

artesian (confined)

artesisch gespannte Verhältnisse = artesian (confined) conditions
Plenty of googles for "artesian (confined) conditions".

Artesian groundwater (Artesisch gespanntes Grundwasser) Groundwater in a confined aquifer, which will freely flow out of a well when the overlying aquiclude is perforated.
Confined groundwater (Gespanntes Grundwasser) Ground water in an aquifer overlain by material with low permeability, the water moves due to pressure differences between recharge and discharge areas, water table in a well will be above the bottom of the overlying
impermeable layer.
