TopicGround Water
ContentProhibit ground water from be used for any purpose other than agriculture or personal residential consumption. Agricultural usage would include crop irrigation and animal husbandry. Personal residential usage would include household consumption and landscape maintenance. Specifically prohibited would be using ground water for 'beautification' purposes such as fountains and non-agricultural lakes or ponds. Last year's drought caused a lot of wells to go dry. A lot of those wells were sucked dry because certain entities considered their selfish desires to be more important than the personal needs of other individuals sharing the same aquifer I am not a liberal, but I have been affected by this issue. This is not intended to deny the right to use any water beneath an entity's property. It is meant to encourage the conservation of a limited source of fresh water and attempt to ensure that such usage provides the greatest benefit to all parties involved.
