Nevertheless, the recognition of that property right has come under fire in the Texas courts as concerns about the growing demand for groundwater and the growing marketplace for groundwater have been on the rise. Advocates for groundwater conservation districts and policy developers are concerned that the recognition of a right to groundwater currently in place will hinder the duly formed districts' abilities to regulate groundwater usage and will, therefore, hinder any meaningful efforts to plan for future water needs. That is not the case, however, because the state can regulate private property rights as a valid exercise of its police power in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public. The purpose of this note is to demonstrate that recognized property rights and state regulation of those rights can co-exist in an efficient manner that will not stifle much-needed water planning efforts in the state of Texas. By recognizing the right to groundwater in place and the very limited scope of possible takings claims under current standards as applied to groundwater regulation, water planning can proceed on a strong and certain legal foundation. II. THE CURRENT CONTROVERSY: EDWARDS AQUIFER AUTHORITY v.
