dc.description.abstract	Texans believe they own the water beneath their land and can freely sell or lease their water rights, but a patchwork of Groundwater Conservation Districts (GCDs) restrict such transactions. As a result, groundwater rights have become a phantom. Regulatory changes are needed that respect the rights of property owners and use market forces to promote the prudent best use of Texas’ groundwater resources.	en
