Court Affirms Water's Fungibility
A water diversion permit granted by a state commission to a water authority was challenged by a property owner and a river protection association. The water authority planned to use part of the water, diverted from the Guadalupe River, for the city of Kerrville and store the rest in an aquifer. On appeal, the challengers argued that the permit was invalid because injected water would mix only minimally with the natural groundwater. The permit was affirmed by a Texas appellate court which concluded that limited mixing was irrelevant and that the relevant legal requirement was that the quantity of water put into the aquifer be retrieved and put to beneficial use.
