The board may restrict water withdrawals from an aquifer by large-capacity wells by limiting drawdown, limiting daily operating periods, reducing the rate of withdrawal based upon priority, or other means by which adverse effects upon the aquifer may be lessened in the degree necessary to conform with this chapter.</font></p> <p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p> <p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Source:</b> SL 1975, ch 16, §&nbsp;1; transferred from §&nbsp;52:01:05:03, effective July 1, 1979; 9 SDR 68, effective December 7, 1982; 10 SDR 27, effective September 26, 1983; 13 SDR 129, 13 SDR 141, effective July 1, 1987.</font></p> <p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>General Authority:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=46-2-5">46-2-5.</A></font></p> <p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Law Implemented:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=46-2-9">46-2-9</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=46-2-11">46-2-11</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=46-6-3.1">46-6-3.1</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=46-6-6.1">46-6-6.1.</A></font></p> <p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p> </div> </body> </html>
