<br />Socio-Economic Impacts. <br /> <br />Absolute preferences are economically in- <br />efficient and constitutionally suspect, particu- <br />larly when applied to surface water. Conse- <br />quently, of the two sub-alternatives, alternative <br />4a is clearly superior economically to alternative <br />4b. From an economic perspective, neither al- <br />ternative is particularly desirable at the present <br />time. Both alternatives could operate to defeat <br />the reasonable expectations of appropriators <br />under present law. <br /> <br />FOOTNOTES <br /> <br />1, <br />2. <br /> <br />180 Neb. 149, 141 N.W.2d 738 (1966). <br />Two kinds of groundwater recharge exist: <br />when a well induces recharge from astream, <br />and when a losing stream generally re- <br />charges the groundwater aquifer. One can <br />argue that induced groundwater recharge <br />constitutes a physical diversion of water, <br />because the well was diverting the water <br />from the stream by inducing the recharge. <br />Brummond v.
