  • 1. Are now being regulated or are facing curtailment due

to insufficient water supply, and

  • 2. Are proximate to a source of supply that during some

If wells in a groundwater basin:

  • 2. Are proximate to a source of supply that during some

periods has excess flow (such as during spring runoff), and

  • 3. Divert from an aquifer that is physically amenable to

ground water recharge. Then, we recommend a consultation.
