About the
Seminar
“Groundwater is an economically, socially, and politically significant resource in many parts of the world. Two hundred years ago, however, people knew very little about how it behaved or how to find it. Accordingly, when courts in England and America began crafting laws governing its use, they treated groundwater as property. Although groundwater hydrogeology is now an established scientific field, groundwater law has remained relatively undeveloped, producing considerable confusion in the legal profession even as groundwater use explodes.
Perry Mason won cases because he had a firm
understanding of the facts, including scientific concepts applicable to his
client’s case. Likewise, the modern practitioner in the fields of property,
natural resource, tort and environmental law needs a basic understanding of
groundwater hydrogeology to guide the courts and juries toward a fuller
understanding of the science underlying groundwater disputes, while helping to
bring largely undeveloped groundwater law (case law and statutes) into the 21st
century. In this course you will learn the basics of groundwater hydrogeology,
examine some of the deleterious effects of unwise groundwater use and obtain an
overview of state law as it relates to groundwater use and pollution.
Please Note two corrections to the Handout Materials:
1. In addressing the slide in Section V, entitled "Principal Coastal Plain Aquifers", the speaker mentioned sea level rise and fall but meant to also include uplift and erosion of the Blue Ridge and Piedmont geological provinces as a major factor in the creation of the Southeastern Coastal Plain.
2. In addressing the slide in Section VII, entitled “Floridan (limestone) Aquifer System”, the speaker inadvertently referred to the Floridan Aquifer as covering all of the State of Georgia when it actually covers all of the State of Florida, as correctly shown on the image.
