A comprehensive guide to all legal and technical aspects of water
boundaries.
"Water Boundaries" is a single-source guide to all critical
legal and technical water boundary issues. An indispensable
resource for surveyors, political geographers, public land
managers, attorneys, developers, real estate professionals, and
students in these and other related fields, this book provides:
In-depth discussions of the legal issues surrounding all types of
water boundariesThe full range of modern methods of precise water
boundary locationDetailed technical specifications for mean high
water line surveysRelevant algorithms and mathematical
formulasIllustrative real-world case studies
Water boundaries are perhaps the oldest and most widely used of
man's boundaries. Yet, despite this long history of usage, water
boundaries are probably the most frequently and bitterly contested
boundaries in today's society. Because shorelines and bodies of
water are dynamic rather than static, knotty technical and legal
disagreements over water boundaries invariably crop up. Recent land
use practices have created a growing demand for precisely located
and legally defensible water boundaries. As a consequence, the need
for a single-source professional reference such as this has never
been greater.
"Water Boundaries" is a comprehensive reference devoted
exclusively to this highly specialized area. Written for surveyors
and engineers, as well as legal and real estate professionals, it
provides in-depth discussions of the legal issues surrounding each
type of water boundary while describing the full range of modern
methods for precisely locating them.
This volume covers all types of water boundaries, including
division lines between private uplands and public submerged lands
in both tidal and nontidal waters, lateral division lines between
adjacent riparian ownerships, boundaries between state and federal
waters, and offshore international boundaries.
For technical specialists, the author provides detailed
specifications for mean high water line surveys, as well as all
relevant mathematics, including formulas for calculating tidal data
and predicting optimum placement of tide gauges, analytical
techniques for estimating high water in nontidal bodies of water,
and the use of coordinate geometry in constructing equidistant and
median lines.
Technical and nontechnical readers alike will appreciate the
many illustrative real-world case studies scattered throughout the
book.
"Water Boundaries" is an indispensable resource for surveyors,
public land managers, attorneys, developers, and real estate
professionals, and for all those involved in land planning,
offshore mineral extraction, and other related fields.
