摘要:

The key elements in traditional western water law were developed in the nineteenth century, when water was viewed almost exclusively as a commodity to support consumptive uses such as mining and irrigation. This article examines a changing American West, which demands efficiency in water use and gives increasing weight to the recreational, wildlife, and aesthetic values of water. Obligations to Indian tribes have also come to the forefront In response to these societal imperatives, water law is undergoing steady and fundamental reform in order to meet modern perceptions of the highest and best use of western water.

摘要:

Indian tribes have uncertain claims to sizable water rights in the western states. State and federal officials are seeking to convert these rights to fixed entitlements in order to make clear to other users the amount of water legally available in various water systems. Two important questions are whether the tribes can find ways to put their rights to use and whether they can sell or lease their rights for use by others.

摘要:

Establishing a legal right to the use of water on Indian reservations has been a major focus of tribal efforts in past decades. This focus is currently expanding to include tribal assertions of control over the regulation and management of water resources in Indian Country. This article discusses ongoing tribal management efforts and how such efforts interface with state water administration in the West.

摘要:

Water is on the move in parts of the arid West from old uses to new uses. As the cost of developing additional water supplies becomes unacceptable in many areas, water scarcity is coming to mean that new uses can be served only if existing uses are cut back, become more efficient, or are retired. The West is leaving the era of initial water allocation and development and entering an era of reallocation and more efficient management. Most of the water transfers are from irrigated agriculture to cities, but some are from consumptive uses to in‐stream uses. Legal reforms are needed to facilitate the reallocation of water from lower economic uses to higher ones, through water marketing and other means, and to encourage water conservation.

摘要:

Steadily increasing emphasis on the aesthetic, environmental, and recreational importance of America's water—particularly in the western states—is calling into question the substance of established water policies. In recent years, courts have tended to recognize and apply the public trust doctrine, which requires government protection of publicly important natural resources. One state, Montana, has undertaken major efforts to integrate public rights into its prior appropriation system by implementing water reservations, facilitating stream access, revising water permit requirements, limiting private appropriation, and controlling state water leasing.
