LAW - 5973-GA Seminar: Water Law(3 hours)
Covers major methods by which the various states allocate the rights to use water among competing water uses and users. In essence, this is an advanced Property law class that examines how water users obtain property rights to use water. It is not an environmental law class - water quality issues are covered only tangentially. Topics include basic facts about water supplies, the major legal systems for allocating surface water (Prior Appropriation and Riparian Rights), the major legal systems for allocating ground water, Federal Reserved Water Rights, methods of resolving interstate water supply disputes, and, perhaps, various Public Trust doctrines. Certificates: Native American Law; Resources, Energy, and Environmental Law.
