Book excerpt: Groundwater is one of this state's most important assets. It is used to irrigate crops and sustain businesses as well as cultivate life. To help manage water in times of scarcity, the State of Kansas authorized the Chief Engineer of the Division of Water Resources of the Kansas Department of Agriculture to designate certain areas of the state as Intensive Groundwater Use Control Areas (IGUCAs).

Book excerpt: The McPherson Intensive Groundwater Use Control Area (IGUCA) was initiated on February 13, 1979 by the Equus Beds GMD No. 2 Board of Directors. The reasons for the request were due to excessive declines in groundwater levels and the rate of withdrawal of groundwater in that area appeared to exceed the rate of recharge. The public hearing was held on September 18, 1979 and continued until October 30, 1979.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is written by a number of authors from different countries and disciplines, affording the reader an invaluable and unbiased perspective on the subject of intensive groundwater development. Based on information gathered from the experience of many countries over the last decades, the text aims to present a clear discussion on the conventional hydrogeological aspects of intensive groundwater use, along with the ecological, legal, institutional, economic and social challenges. Divided into two main sections, the first group of authors put forward the positive and negative aspects of intensive groundwater use, whilst a second group provide an overview of the situation specific countries face as a consequence of this phenomenon. Fully revised and up-to-date, Groundwater Intensive Use makes a significant number of discoveries in a subject area that is topical in today's climate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intensive use of groundwater has resolved the demand for drinking water and, through irrigation, has contributed to the eradication of malnourishment in many developing countries. The spectacular worldwide increase in groundwater use in the last decades, especially in arid and semi-arid regions, has been a silent revolution carried out by millions of small farmers. In some instances, groundwater abstraction has caused problems of quality degradation, excessive drawdown of groundwater levels, land subsidence, reduction of spring and baseflows or degradation of groundwater-dependent ecosystems. Most of these problems could be anticipated, mitigated, or even avoided with more active water agencies, adequate regulations and users’ participation in management. Groundwater Intensive Use contains a selection of papers presented at a symposium held in December 2002 in Valencia, Spain. It constitutes a step forward in creating a greater worldwide awareness of the relevance of groundwater in water resources policy. The book presents new ideas and accounts of recent advances in technical, economic, legal, administrative and political issues. It addresses groundwater development to ecosystems sustainability, through different or complementary approaches. A wide series of case studies from North and South America, Europe, South Asia and North and Sub-Saharan Africa cover the various issues. These case studies represent countries with a wide diversity of social circumstances, from areas in which development is emerging, to communities with a long history of successful groundwater use.

Download or read book Kansas Groundwater Management Districts written by John C. Peck and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kansas enacted enabling legislation in 1972 to permit creation of groundwater management districts (GMDs), which would have some degree of autonomy for local management and control, but would be subject to basic statewide water law doctrine. Five GMDs were created in western and south-central Kansas, the areas where the High Plains and Equus Beds Aquifers are located. The article first explores potential constitutional infirmities with the legislation and concludes that one potential problem area exists - when an intensive groundwater use control area (IGUCA) is designated in a serious problem area, the legislation permits reducing the annual quantity of water right appropriation right, which might be seen as an unconstitutional “taking” of property in that water rights are expressly defined under Kansas water law as “real property interests.” Other matters covered by the article are questions of participation of GMD in lawsuits, the relationship of GMDs to the state Chief Engineer, and an analysis of several rules and regulations including those on depletion and safe-yield.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article summarizes the ideas presented by the author at the Kyoto 3rd World Water Forum. In general, American states and not the national government control water resources. Western states generally define water rights as property rights and apply the prior appropriation doctrine, or “first in time is first in right”, to handle disputes in times of shortage. Kansas, located in the center of the U.S., adopted this doctrine in its 1945 Water Appropriation Act and expressly defined water rights as “real property rights.” Permits were issues through the 1960s when authorities became aware that groundwater depletion was occurring in the groundwater aquifers. The legislature then enacted a statute that enabled creation of “groundwater management districts” (GMD), which were to allow local control of groundwater within the framework of Kansas water law, and “intensive groundwater use control areas” (IGUCAs), for more intensive management in serious problem areas. An IGUCA was created in the Cheyenne Bottoms area in 1992, and the Order cut back on existing irrigation water rights by limiting annual quantities from 64% to 71%. A potential problem with cutting annual quantity of existing water rights is that such action might amount to a “taking” of property, for which compensation to the water right holder should be paid, but the irrigators did not appeal the Order The article describes other attempts to control groundwater withdrawals, discusses philosophical and policy issues, and proposes a solution for Kansas that would involve incremental reduction of groundwater pumping to achieve safe yield 25 or 40 years in the future.
Download or read book Groundwater Management Practices written by Angelos N. Findikakis and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2011-06-08 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Groundwater is an indispensable resource in many parts of the world, where it supports domestic water supply, irrigated agriculture and industry. Its increased, and often intensive, use during the last half century has created problems and raised concerns regarding the potential depletion of local aquifers, water quality degradation and various geologic hazards such as land subsidence and sinkholes. This volume includes contributions by experts from several countries who describe different groundwater management practices in their part of the world and discuss measures and actions in response to the challenges associated with the sustainability of groundwater use and the protection of the groundwater environment, as well as the evolution of legal and institutional framework needed for their implementation. It discusses past and present practices and various aspects of the regulatory and legal framework of groundwater management in Japan, China, India, Iran, Australia, the United States, Spain, Denmark, Switzerland and the European Union, and reviews recent efforts to improve the management of transboundary aquifer resources.
