\huge{Ground water}

✍️The current laws about groundwater in many states are both outdated and inappropriate.

✍️They where developed at a time when groundwater was a marginal source of water .

✍️Today Shallow and deep Tube well have the potential to draw a lot of water .

✍️ more over there are no laws and regulations that can determine on how many hand pumps and other tubles can be sink in a given area.

✍️Some support the groundwater is a public resource and some other support primacy of land owners control over groundwater .

Hence lawsoutdated and have to be modified

Quetion :- The ground water laws are both outdated and inappropriate.Explain

Answer :- California, like most arid Western states, has a complex system of surface water rights that accounts for nearly all of the water in rivers and streams.

California, like most arid Western states, has a complex system of surface water rights that accounts for nearly all of the water in rivers and streams.Riparian rights are held by those with property bordering streams, while those who have a claim to divert and use water away from the source hold appropriative rights. The State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) administers the permit system governing appropriative water right holders, though it does not regulate the amount of groundwater used.

The State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) administers the permit system governing appropriative water right holders, though it does not regulate the amount of groundwater used.Primarily, landowners in California are entitled to pump and use a reasonable amount of groundwater from a basin underlying their land to put it to a beneficial, nonwasteful use. When there is insufficient water to meet the demands of landowners, they are expected to reduce their use to bring extractions into the “safe yield” of the basin to prevent overdraft. The concepts of “safe yield,” “surplus” and “overdraft” have been deliberated in courts and remain as keys to management policies and strategies for the future.
