Protecting property rights is exactly why many people around my area are upset with well systems drying up because of all the farmer irrigation systems. Many of us would like to see them gone, permanently. If they were used reasonably, perhaps with litigation passed to protect underground water supply, people would be less irritated at them. Ultimately God takes care of those in need who look to Him for care. And the rains have taken care of the crops very well these last two years.
