Ground Water Basin Management

Abstract: D ESPITE ITS recent drenching, Southern California is experiencing its eighteenth year of drought. The effects of low rainfall have been accentuated by increased per capita use of water and aggravated by a booming population resulting from the western migration. The result is a serious demand on California's water resouces, as well as on her scientific, engineering, management, legal, and political resourcefulness in meeting the challenge.The problem can be met in two ways: increase the supply or limit the dem… Show more

“…Unsurprisingly, these “adjudications” are rare—they cover only 22 of California's 431 basins [ California Department of Water Resources , 2003; “Court Adjudications,” 2009, available from http://www.water.ca.gov/]. Without basin adjudications, the system probably encourages overpumping [ Krieger and Banks , 1962; Sandino , 2005]. This system also relies on an adversarial, rather than potentially more constructive, creative, collaborative process [ Sheer , 2010].…”

“…The taker's beneficial use becomes even more incidental. In 1949 the California Supreme Court triggered a "race to the pump house" (Krieger and Banks, 1962) when it proclaimed the doctrine of "mutual prescription" for groundwater basins (City of Pasadena v. City of Alhambra, 1949). This "encouraged defensive ground water overdrafting by pumpers in other basins who anticipated ground water adjudication" (Gleason, 1977).…”
