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.

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.
