Groundwater and Wells (For Attorneys) Out of Stock

Product Details

About the Seminar
Groundwater is an economically, socially, and politically significant resource. 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. Lawyers in a variety of property-related fields should have a basic understanding of groundwater hydrogeology to help bring largely undeveloped groundwater law 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.
