Very old regulations are found on water which is an indispensible natural spring and a need for the continuation of life. Nowadays the importance of water law is increasing as a new branch of law. Although recognition of the right of ownership on springs, this branch of law as a sub branch of law of natural springs has a character of public law due to the importance of the subject which is regulated by it. Since water has different properties depending on size, location and usage, the regulations of it are different and it is differently managed by different institutions. Therefore water as general water, aquatic water, therapeutic water, village drinking water and spring is subject to the different laws and managed by different authorities. In order to improve this disarrangement draft of the water law bill which is prepared by the ministry of forest and water is submitted for discussion. In this paper the bill draft is examined.
