Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the doctrine of prior appropriation in the Western United States. The doctrine, which originated in the mining camps of the 19th century, gives water rights to those who first put water to beneficial use, regardless of whether they own the land under or adjacent to the watercourse. The author traces the development of the doctrine from its origins, through its application to different types of water uses, to its present-day status. The book also discusses the potential impacts of climate change on water resources and the doctrine of prior appropriation. It concludes that the doctrine is likely to remain an important part of water law in the West for many years to come.
