Well done on your article draft! I think its great that you expanded on the "Regulations" section and included India and Canada in your discussion. There are a few comments I would like to make on your work so far:


 * 1) You should place in-text citations throughout the paragraphs under the "India" heading so readers know where you got your information from.
 * 2) The beginning sentence of the paragraph under "India" should have a comma to read: "In India, groundwater regulation is...", to avoid confusion.
 * 3) The final paragraph under "India" (regarding issues with the regulation of groundwater) may be considered biased (this should be avoided).
 * 4) This is more of a visual thing, but you began using dashed lined bullet points in your "Canada" section, whereas dotted bullet points were used throughout the rest of the article.

Other comments:


 * 1) Your sources are reputable and are not outdated. That's great!
 * 2) You did a great job paraphrasing your source material.

I look forward to seeing your final article! --Kyliebennett (talk) 02:34, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

I think your choice to focus on the Regulations section is great due to it lacking a broad perspective of different countries. This allows for a more balanced point of view compared to regulations only in the united states.

I think the use of quotes shown in the Canada section is something you should reconsider. Unless the quotes is from a person that is an expert in the field during an interview I think quotations can be misconstrued as potential plagiarism. Very minimal articles on wikipedia have quotes unless used in a certain manner. I think your suggestion of Ground Water in International Law is a great idea. I would like to suggest an example of Israel with neighboring countries. Potentially you could include information about the groundwater reserve situations in these countries and how it has influenced law based on potential scarcity or other problems found in thee countries.

This draft is well written and has good sources to back up the information provided. This is a great start. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryan Hadaway (talk • contribs) 21:49, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
