cap on water extraction

A cap on water extraction refers to a legal limit placed on the amount of water that can be taken from rivers, lakes, or groundwater sources for various uses, such as agriculture, industry, or domestic purposes. This cap is implemented to ensure sustainable management of water resources, protecting the environment and ensuring that there is enough water available for all users. By regulating how much water can be extracted, it helps prevent overuse, depletion of water sources, and negative impacts on ecosystems. Overall, it aims to balance human needs with the health of aquatic environments.
