Abstract

The abstraction of groundwater for beneficial use or supply in England and Wales is restricted by law. The relevant legislation is currently the Water Resources Act 1991, but the Government has recently announced that new legislation is forthcoming. This paper outlines the licensing system currently in place and goes on to explain the proposed changes to legislation controlling dewatering works. It emphasises that in future it will be essential to keep the Environment Agency suitably informed of groundwater abstractions for whatever purpose and to comply with the new regulations, as failure to do so may well result in prosecution.

排水工程抽取地下水的环境规制

在英格兰和威尔士，为有益使用或供应而抽取地下水是受法律限制的。有关的立法目前是1991年《水资源法》，但政府最近宣布即将制定新的立法。本文件概述现行的发牌制度，并解释管制脱水工程的法例的拟议修订。它强调，在未来，无论出于何种目的抽取地下水，都必须及时告知环境局，并遵守新规定，因为不这样做很可能导致起诉。

期刊介绍： The objectives of the Association shall be the promotion of co-operation among geotechnical societies in SE Asia; and the assistance to member societies who have limited number of members. Now there is only one combined web titled: AGSSEA-SEAGS. SEAGS & AGSSEA encourage the submission of scholarly and practice-oriented articles to its journal. The journal is published quarterly. Both sponsors of the journal, the Southeast Asian Geotechnical Society and the Association of Geotechnical Societies in Southeast Asia, promote the ideals and goals of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechhnical Engineering in fostering communications, developing insights and enabling the advancement of the geotechnical engineering discipline.
