Section 74:02:05:03 - Constraints on withdrawals of water from large-capacity wells

When regulating withdrawals of water from large-capacity wells, the board may require reasonable efforts to maintain sufficient artesian pressure in the aquifer to maintain water supplies in existing individual domestic use wells which are dependent upon artesian pressure, but continuance of artesian pressure at all times will not be assured. The board may restrict water withdrawals from an aquifer by large-capacity wells by limiting drawdown, limiting daily operating periods, reducing the rate of withdrawal based upon priority, or other means by which adverse effects upon the aquifer may be lessened in the degree necessary to conform with this chapter.
