Practice question
A GOCC installs a permanent system to divert river water for an industrial operation. No statutory permit exception applies and no water permit has been obtained. It argues that government ownership alone removes Article 13's requirement. Which is correct?
- The argument fails because Article 13 expressly includes GOCCs.
- Government ownership automatically exempts all water projects.
- A company letterhead is equivalent to a water permit.
- Industrial use is always the same as handcarried appropriation.
- The corporation can grant itself the government's water right.
