Description
Summary:This Comment recommends the creation of a statewide program of local groundwater management authorities to regulate California groundwater. Such a solution was urged by the 1978 Report of the Governor's Commission to Review Water Rights Law, but has not been enacted by the Legislature. Part I discusses the development and current status of groundwater law. Part II analyzes the options available for managing groundwater resources. Part III argues for the adoption of proposals of the Governor's Commission to Review Water Rights Law, while Part IV concludes by rebutting the objections that have been raised against the Commission's proposals.
