Development of Indiana Water Law Indiana is located in a region of the United States which receives an abundant rainfall, consequently there is generally an ample water supply available. It seems there has been very little competition for water and the result has been that the law governing the use of water has developed slowly and is not extensive. In fact, many of the water problems in Indiana involve the disposition of unwanted water, rather than competition for the right to use water. With respect to the disposal of surface water, the Indiana Court has adopted the "Common enemy" doctrine. The main body of law relating to the right to use water has been developed by the courts in individual suits involving conflicts or dis- putes over the right to use water from a common source. These cases have not been extensive so all facets of the nature and scope of the individual's right to use water is still not well defined, but it seems the Indiana Court has adopted the reasonable use doctrine of riparian water rights in settling disputes over the right to use the waters of surface watercourses, and applied a modified "absolute ownership" rule to problems involving the use of ground waters. In recent years, the legislature has become more aware of the need to protect the State's waters and has enacted legislation for the con- trol of water pollution and has adopted limited administrative con- trols and regulations relating to the right to use surface and ground waters. 499-242-73------20 |
