How to Regulate Groundwater. The Mosbacher Institute.
What should groundwater regulations do?
- groundwater regulations should be based on loss in aquifer storage and not on artesian pressure
- if taking water from an aquifer, it’s not just about recharge, the correct analysis is the “size of the aquifer’s storage relative to the rate of recharge”
- think of water, like oil and gas, and mineral resources are considered
