Cujus est solum, ejus est usque ad inferos

Cujus est solum, ejus est usque ad inferos
The owner of the soil owns to the lowest depths. This maxim of the common law is said to furnish a rule of easy application and to save a world of judicial worry in many cases, and one which is perhaps always applicable in England and in the eastern states of the Union, but it is one which would work great injustice if applied to percolating waters in the arid districts of the west where much irrigating water is pumped from wells. Katz v Walkinshaw, 141 Cal 116, 70 P 663, 74 P 766.
