  6. Significant Water Withdrawal Facility IC 15-25-7-15 • Since 1986 the Division of Water has registered and monitored water withdrawal facilities with the capability of withdrawing more than 100,000 gallons water/day

  7. Indiana Code 14-25-4: Water Rights: Emergency Regulation • Provides for “Timely and Reasonable Compensation” to owners of domestic wells affected by high capacity ground-water pumpage • Provides for restrictions on high capacity ground-water pumpage under certain conditions
