IMO, commercial water extraction permits should be linked to aquifer recovery; if the aquifer levels are dropping, the commercial companies should be required to stop until the aquifer is stable again. If it never becomes stable again due to other pressures, commercial extraction never starts again.

That’s the way the permits SHOULD be granted.
