I recently attended a conference on ground water wells and legislation regulating them. A new disturbing issue is poking its head up. The federal government is in control of ALL navigable waters in the US and regulates their use and care. The government stance, which is now in the court systems, is that underground water from well could affect the surface navigable waters and are wanting federal control on most wells. This is quite disturbing and arguments before the supreme court and being prepared.
As flintlocke said................the lawyers will be the winners.
Even the losing lawyers will get paid.
