Applied in 4 court decisions — leading case Town of Chino Valley v. City of Prescott (1981)
Most recently applied in Silver v. Pueblo Del Sol Water Co. (November 2016)
Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.
In areas outside of active management areas, a person may:
1. Withdraw and use groundwater for reasonable and beneficial use, except as provided in article 8.1 of this chapter.
2. Transport groundwater pursuant to articles 8 and 8.1 of this chapter.
3. Use groundwater for irrigation purposes within the exterior boundaries of an irrigation non-expansion area only pursuant to article 3 of this chapter.
