Descrição do livro
Miscellaneous Publication, Issue 418presents a historical and technical survey of Western United States water rights. Aimed at legal researchers, librarians, judges, and practitioners, the work maps how water rights are acquired, used, administered, and litigated, with attention to appropriation versus riparian doctrines, and to diffuse surface water and groundwater regimes. It explains ownership concepts, transferability, and the impact of public-domain and interstate questions, including abandonment, forfeiture, and adverse use. The text details administrative structures (state engineers, irrigation boards), adjudication procedures, and the balance of federal involvement through reclamation projects and interstate compacts. It also surveys groundwater regimes—defined underground streams, percolating waters, artesian wells—and the evolving shift toward correlative rights and reasonable-use principles. A state-by-state appendix highlights California, Oregon, Idaho, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, and others, illustrating diverse statutory approaches. Overall, the volume is a foundational reference for Western water-law scholarship and policy reform.
