Development of Ohio Water Law Ohio is located in a humid region of the United States, and the settlement and development of the State was aided by the general availability of water. Because of an abundant water supply, water right matters have not received extensive attention from either the courts or the legislature. However, when water use conflicts have arisen, the Ohio court has applied the doctrine of riparian rights as the basic water law of the State, with every riparian owner limited to a reasonable use of the stream. Similarly, every landowner overlying a subterranean stream has the right to make a reasonable use of the water, but is entitled to the absolute ownership of perco- lating water and may use it in any manner he desires. Legislation dealing with water resources in Ohio is very limited. The scope of the existing statutes are restricted to water quality control, water use planning, the regulation of dam construction and drilling of water wells. 2. State Organizational Structure for Water Administration and Control 2.1 Administration of Water Rights Because of the private nature of the riparian right, Ohio has no statutory procedure governing the acquisition, distribution, or trans- fer of water rights. The determination of the nature and extent of an individual's water right, as it relates to other uses and rights from the same source, is a matter of judicial decision applying the principles of the riparian water rights doctrine. 591 |
