Texan bill seeks injunction against unreasonable underground water use
Rep Joe Allen of Baytown introduced a bill in the Texas House granting individuals the right to seek injunctions against wasteful use of underground water. The measure defines unreasonable use as waste or export of water. reasonable use covers necessary extraction on the land of origin. It targets cities and industries, aims to curb land subsidence, and applies Gulf Coastwide, not only Baytown. The bill clarifies water beneath the earth and excludes subterranean streams and river underflows. Allen said pumping must stop now to halt subsidence, though effects may persist five to six years.
