LEGAL PROTECTION OF GROUNDWATER IS A CURRENT ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE

Abstract

We can see that the ecological importance of groundwater lies in ensuring its balance with other natural objects, that environmental regulations are more important than economics, and that water plays an important role in human life and daily lifestyle. The study reveals the importance of groundwater and its connection to other natural resources: groundwater, water, and soil. This article analyzes the legal framework for the general and special use of groundwater. The study examines the practice of the United Kingdom, Russia, Armenia, and other major jurisdictions using statistical, comparative legal, historical legal, and empirical analysis methods. As a result, there is a need to implement large-scale reforms aimed at improving the system of resource management in relations related to groundwater, ensuring the rational use of groundwater for the needs of the population and economic sectors, and preventing the harmful effects of water and eliminating its consequences. As previously conducted research has shown that groundwater is associated with social, economic, and environmental issues, as well as limited knowledge and information in this area, and to prevent this, it is necessary to create a unified information platform and jointly use accurate, reliable information in cases of ecological disasters and emergencies. The article analyzes the legal status of these issues in the legislation of our Republic and offers suggestions for its improvement.
