Administration of ground water as a nonrenewable resource Item Info

groundwater is generally administered with surface water as a flow or renewable resource. In Idaho, the administration is based on the appropriation doctrine of water rights. This doctrine provides for the division of a perennial but limited supply of water between various users. The purpose of this paper is to show that more consideration should be given to the administration of groundwater as a nonrenewable stock resource. The development of the water resource of the Raft River basin in Idaho is presented as an example of the inapplicability of the present statutory guidelines for the administration of groundwater.
