Statutory Control of Ground Water in the Western United States
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 120, Issue 1
Abstract
The increasing importance of the use of ground water in the western states of the United States together with the overdraft that occurs in many areas makes it essential that methods be found to enable individual users to secure an equitable share of the available supply and to limit draft to the safe yield in order that the use of ground water may be permanent and stable. The delay in the accomplishment of these results has been caused as much by lack of agreement on what should be done as it has by the search for legal means for this accomplishment. Conditions in some areas are such that the need for control outweighs the difficulties of its enforcement.
