Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the little-known history behind the legal doctrine of prior appropriation--"first in time is first in right"--used to apportion water resources in the western United States, this book focuses on the important case of Wyoming v. Colorado (1922). U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Willis Van Devanter, a former Chief Justice of Wyoming, ruled in that state's favor, finding that prior appropriation applied across state lines--a controversial opinion influenced by cronyism. The dicta in the case, that the U.S. Government has no interest in state water allocation law, drove the balkanization of interstate water systems and resulted in the Colorado River Interstate Compact between Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California. The exhaustive research that has gone into this book has uncovered the secret that Associate Justice Van Devanter had waited eleven years to publish his opinion in this important, but politically self-serving, case, at last finding a moment when his senior colleagues were sufficiently absent or incapacitated to either concur or dissent. Without the knowledge of his "brethren," save his "loyal friend" Taft, and without recusal, Van Devanter unilaterally delivered his sole opinion to the Clerk for publication on the last day of the Supreme Court's October 1921 Term.

Download or read book Unsettled Waters written by Eric P. Perramond and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the American West, water adjudication lawsuits are adversarial, expensive, and lengthy. Unsettled Waters is the first detailed study of water adjudications in New Mexico. The state envisioned adjudication as a straightforward accounting of water rights as private property. However, adjudication resurfaced tensions and created conflicts among water sovereigns at multiple scales. Based on more than ten years of fieldwork, this book tells a fascinating story of resistance involving communal water cultures, Native rights and cleaved identities, clashing experts, and unintended outcomes. Whether the state can alter adjudications to meet the water demands in the twenty-first century will have serious consequences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Rights in the Western States: The Law of Appropriation of Water as Applied Along in Some Jurisdictions, and as Applied Together With the Common Law in Others, Federal and California Statutes in Full, With Synopsis of Statutes of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nev The writer first approached this subject from an interest in mining, having published a series of articles giving a statement of the law of waters from that point of view. For a considerable time in the West the decisions on mining and waters had been closely interwoven, and that point of view was probably the best for reaching the underlying principles on which the Western law of waters rests. The present book attempts a more general treatment of the subject, covering also the recent, developments of the law resulting from irrigation throughout the West. In view of the great interest in the subject since the passage of the National Irrigation Act, it is hoped that the present book will he of some use.
