Resumen

The purposes of the Law are to ensure the rational supply of industrial water and to promote the conservation of the undergroundwater resources in specified areas, with a view to industrial development and prevention of land subsidence in such areas. Article 3 regulates the utilisation of undergroundwater from a well in "designated areas", for industrial purposes. A "designated areas" is an area established by Cabinet, where the water level is extremely low, or salt water has mixed with the undergroundwater source, or an area where it is necessary to ensure rational use of undergroundwater in order to conserve the underground water source when a large quantity of water must be supplied for industrial use. A permission to draw underground water from a well is necessary, and the Law establishes under Article 4, the requirements to be fulfilled in order to obtain such permission. In addition, the Law sets out the cases when permission may be lost, suspended, or varied (Article 7 to 14). (30 Articles)
