I'm not an attorney. Last I heard was that "Hydrology is not an exact science" so fixing fault was pretty near impossible for the courts.

I think that was what happened when Nestle opened a new bottled water plant a few years ago in Michigan? After sucking millions of gallons a day, the neighboring wells went dry. Could have been a drought that caused this, could have been a lot of things, so no fault found.

Still, the timing of the drilling with all the neighboring wells going at dry at the same time, and at the time of drilling, certainly would help this case.
