Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1945, the Kansas Legislature enacted the Kansas Water Appropriation Act, which changed Kansas water allocation law from the common law riparian doctrine for streams and the absolute ownership ownership for groundwater. This article begins with the precursors to the Act-nineteenth legislation and cases, a major 1944 Kansas Supreme Court case, and a governor's committed appointed to recommend changes in the law. The Act changed water law from the common law rules to the doctrine of prior appropriation-first in time, first in right-for both groundwater and streams. Persons using water under common law claims in 1945 were protected with vested rights. Other people with water rights who were not using the water in 1945 simply lost their rights. All new users would have to obtain permits from the state to receive appropriation rights. The article describes the Act and various amendments to the Act from 1945 to 1995 as well as other relevant water legislation such was water planning statutes, groundwater management districts legislation, and the Water Transfer Act. The several court cases unsuccessfully challenging the constitutionality of the Act are mentioned. The main administrator of the Act is the chief engineer of the Division of Water Resources of the Kansas Department of Agriculture. The article provides information about the several people who served as chief engineer during the fifty-year period as well as developments during their tenures.

Download or read book The Kansas Water Appropriation Statutes and Their Effect Upon the Oil and Gas Industry in Kansas written by Eva Neufeld and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the enactment of the 1945 Kansas Water Appropriation Act, the Kansas legislature dedicated all water in the state to the use of the public and adopted the prior appropriation doctrine for water allocation, “first in time is first in right.” With a few limited exceptions, water diversions require prior permission from the Kansas Division of Water Resources (DWR). This article deals with that Act and its relation to and impact on the oil and gas industry in Kansas. It begins with the Act's initial impact, in requiring water permits before use. Water in the initial drilling operation is covered next, with an emphasis on “temporary permits” and how they differ from regular, permanent water rights. The next two sections deal with the Act's impact on use of water as a by-product of oil and gas production and water use in secondary or enhanced oil and gas recovery. The last three sections of the article discuss attachment of water rights to land in Kansas and the neighboring states of Oklahoma and Colorado, policy and suggestions, and the obtaining of appropriation permits.

Download or read book Loss of Kansas Water Rights for Non Use written by John C. Peck and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like other Western states, Kansas follows the Prior Appropriation Doctrine for water rights allocation - “first in time, first in right.” Traditionally, these water rights must be used, or they can be declared abandoned. Loss of water rights for non-use is important, because over appropriation of Kansas' water resources has led to the closure of much of the state to new water permits. Water users must thus make sure that their water rights remain active and legal. This article discusses loss of water rights in Kansas. Several questions are discussed. One question is whether Kansas is an “abandonment” state or a “forfeiture” state. Historically, abandonment has been a doctrine adopted by courts that allows the intent of the water user to be relevant on whether an abandonment has occurred. Forfeiture is the loss of a right for failure to use the right for the period of time, such as three or five years, expressly stated in a statute, the intent of the water right holder being irrelevant. Other issues covered in the article include whether vested rights (water rights pre-dating the Kansas Water Appropriation Act of 1945) are subject to abandonment; whether pre-1945 Act legislation dealing with loss of water rights for non-use is relevant in light of the 1945 Act; when a water right has sufficiently matured to be subject to abandonment; what constitutes “due and sufficient cause” for non-use, which can be a defense to an action by the state to declare a water right abandoned; whether partial abandonments are possible; who has the burden of proof in an abandonment hearing, the state or the water right holder; and whether a water right can be declared abandoned for unauthorized use as compared to non-use. The article attempts to answer these questions and points out several potential problems with current law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook offers an up-to-date collection of research on agricultural economics. Drawing together scholarship from experts at the top of their profession and from around the world, this collection provides new insights into the area of agricultural economics. The Routledge Handbook of Agricultural Economics explores a broad variety of topics including welfare economics, econometrics, agribusiness, and consumer economics. This wide range reflects the way in which agricultural economics encompasses a large sector of any economy, and the chapters present both an introduction to the subjects as well as the methodology, statistical background, and operations research techniques needed to solve practical economic problems. In addition, food economics is given a special focus in the Handbook due to the recent emphasis on health and feeding the world population a quality diet. Furthermore, through examining these diverse topics, the authors seek to provide some indication of the direction of research in these areas and where future research endeavors may be productive. Acting as a comprehensive, up-to-date, and definitive work of reference, this Handbook will be of use to researchers, faculty, and graduate students looking to deepen their understanding of agricultural economics, agribusiness, and applied economics, and the interrelationship of those areas.

Book excerpt: Testimony in support of SB 272, which amends "K.S.A. 82a-736, a provision of the Kansas Water Appropriation Act which authorizes and governs multi-year flex accounts. ... K.S.A. 82a-736 is a complex section of the Kansas Water Appropriation Act, and the proposed amendments to K.S.A. 82a-736 increase its complexity to provide more options to water right holders. However, these amendments can be easily understood as three related changes--changes that respond to the drought of 2010-2011 and what we have learned from it."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents case studies that share important experiences regarding Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) in various countries. Following an introduction to theoretical concepts, responsibilities, and challenges, the subsequent chapters address, among other topics, an analysis of policies and regulations for water management in Brazil, the drivers that led California to adapt to the IWRM framework, and the international regulations for water markets and water banking in Australia and Chile. The implications of climate change for water resource systems in Mexico are discussed, as well as management strategies from California that could potentially serve as IWRM adaptation schemes in Mexico. Critical cases from Guanacaste (Costa Rica), and from Zayandehrud River Basin and Lake Urmia (Iran) are reviewed in terms of management practices and solutions. The book also provides an overview of the current availability and use of water resources in South Korea, and discusses the management of and international water law instruments for transboundary groundwater in Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing scarcity of freshwater worldwide brings to light the need for sound water resource modeling and policy analysis. While a solid foundation has been established for many specific water management problems, combining those methods and principles in a unified framework remains an ongoing challenge. This Handbook aims to expand the scope of efficient water use to include allocation of sources and quantities across uses and time, as well as integrating demand-management with supply-side substitutes. Socially efficient water use does not generally coincide with private decisions in the real world, however. Examples of mechanisms designed to incentivize efficient behavior are drawn from agricultural water use, municipal water regulation, and externalities linked to water resources. Water management is further complicated when information is costly and/or imperfect. Standard optimization frameworks are extended to allow for coordination costs, games and cooperation, and risk allocation. When operating efficiently, water markets are often viewed as a desirable means of allocation because a market price incentivizes users to move resources from low to high value activities. However, early attempts at water trading have run into many obstacles. Case studies from the United States, Australia, Europe, and Canada highlight the successes and remaining challenges of establishing efficient water markets.
