REASONABLE PUMP LIFT

A determination of the rate and volume of water to be pumped from an aquifer. The reasonable pump lift (rate of withdrawal) would include consideration of: (1) water quality in the aquifer or the basin, including sea water intrusion, base of fresh water, and lateral or vertical migration of contaminants; (2) the ground water management program; (3) the thickness of the aquifer; (4) the depth of existing wells; (5) the capital cost of new wells; (6) the net cash flow; and (7) the total amount of ground water that can be extracted during one water year by the total number of existing wells.
