The Water Management Board shall require every well to be so constructed and finished as to prevent waste of its waters or underground leakage of these waters into other reservoirs. To this end it may specify methods of construction, kinds, size, and number of casings used, valves or other control devices to regulate artesian flow, and any other device or construction which may be necessary to prevent waste through faulty construction or through corrosion.
