- Description:
- The appropriation doctrine of water law is the basis for groundwater administration in a number of western states. The broad statements presented in individual state statutes are the guidelines for control of the development and location of new wells and the continued operation of existing wells. These guidelines have generally been satisfactory for the period of time when the groundwater resource was being developed. However, many states are now facing conditions of well interference, declining water levels and basin overdraft which require administrative management decisions. The broad guidelines must be interpreted and quantified for resource administration. This report presents an analysis of groundwater management alternatives possible under the broad guidelines of the appropriation doctrine as expressed in the legal code for Idaho.
