This casebook, significantly revised since the last edition,
addresses both traditional water law rules and modern water
management challenges. It covers Eastern and Western U.S. water law
in detail, examining both classic principles and statutory
modifications of the riparian rights and prior appropriation
doctrines. It also explores public dimensions of water law, with
chapters devoted to public water uses and the Public Trust
Doctrine, environmental quality issues in water management, and
government takings relating to water use restrictions and flood
damages. In addressing issues from drought to flooding, the book
considers the challenges posed by climate change for managing water
resources in the 21st Century. In addition to the inclusion of
important new cases, legislation, and federal and state
administrative developments, substantial changes in the new 8th
edition include: an entirely new chapter addressing issues of
conjunctive management of ground and surface water -a first for
water casebooks. a completely revamped chapter on groundwater law,
with new text on groundwater hydrology, allocation, and management.
substantially revised chapters dealing with federal water projects,
federal and tribal reserved rights, and interstate water issues.
While the book remains national in scope, this edition offers new
material from states with major recent developments in water law,
including California, Colorado, the Pacific Northwest states, and
Texas.
