Book Synopsis A History of Water Rights at Common Law by : Joshua Getzler
Download or read book A History of Water Rights at Common Law written by Joshua Getzler and published by Oxford Studies in Modern Legal. This book was released on 2004 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water resources were central to England's precocious economic development in the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries, and then again in the industrial, transport, and urban revolutions of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Each of these periods saw a great deal of legal conflict over water rights, often between domestic, agricultural, and manufacturing interests competing for access to flowing water. From 1750 the common-law courts developed a large but unstable body of legal doctrine, specifying strong property rights in flowing water attached to riparian possession, and also limited rights to surface and underground waters. The new water doctrines were built from older concepts of common goods and the natural rights of ownership, deriving from Roman and Civilian law, together with the English sources of Bracton and Blackstone. Water law is one of the most Romanesque parts of English law, demonstrating the extent to which Common and Civilian law have commingled. Water law stands as a refutation of the still-common belief that English and European law parted ways irreversibly in the twelfth century. Getzler also describes the economic as well as the legal history of water use from early times, and examines the classical problem of the relationship between law and economic development. He suggests that water law was shaped both by the impact of technological innovations and by economic ideology, but above all by legalism.
Book Synopsis Water and the Law in Hawaii by : Lawrence H. Miike
Download or read book Water and the Law in Hawaii written by Lawrence H. Miike and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2004-03-31 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water and the Law in Hawaii provides an intellectual and legal framework for understanding both the past and future of Hawai‘i’s freshwater resources. It covers not only the känäwai (laws) governing the balancing act between preservation and use, but also the science of aquifers and streams and the customs and traditions practiced by ancient and present-day Hawaiians on the äina (land) and in the wai (water). In placing Hawaii water law in the context of its historical development, the author condenses an enormous amount of information on traditional Hawaiian social structure and mythology. His analysis and explanation of the Hawaii Supreme Court decisions on water rights pose difficult questions and reveal the Court's at times defective reasoning by referring readers to original source material. He is the first author to explain fully how water use permits will play out in a variety of circumstances that may arise in the future, and he discusses the interrelationship between the State Water Code and the common law on water rights, which few people understand or are aware of. Water and the Law in Hawaii is a vital contribution to understanding water law in Hawaii. It will prove invaluable to students of the subject and will appeal to those with an interest in cultural anthropology, planning, Hawaiian history, and political science.

Book Synopsis Why Access to Water Rights Was Never a 'Right' by : Paul Finkelman
Download or read book Why Access to Water Rights Was Never a 'Right' written by Paul Finkelman and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article, from a symposium on water rights, explains how the history of access to water in England and early America, makes it difficult (but not impossible) to develop a “right” to water under traditional Anglo-American common law. This article ties physical geography - including the amazing abundance of water in the eastern part of the United States, with common law developments. The article also considers, briefly, that right of access to water for religious purposes and access to water under Indian law. Despite its “2010” publication date, this article was actually published in 2013.

Book Synopsis ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS & WATER POLLUTION: HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE by : Dr. Rohini Gote
Download or read book ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS & WATER POLLUTION: HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE written by Dr. Rohini Gote and published by Lulu Publication. This book was released on 2021-04-21 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Role of Nature in Human Life The progress of man from the Stone Age to the computer age is astonishing. At times one may be misled and consider this as man’s victory over nature. But it is not true. Our forefathers modestly believed that, ‘Life is a glorious gift from God. Human being is the epitome of the infinite prowess of the divine creator. Nature plays a dominant role in the lives of all creations. Natural objects like rivers, mountains, forests etc. enjoyed a high position in the life of all societies. Rivers were considered as goddesses having not only purifying capacity but also self-purifying ability. Pollution of the water of a river was considered as sin and it attracted punishments of different kinds’.[1] Today these ancient scripts appear to be far more relevant.
Book Synopsis The Evolution of the Law and Politics of Water by : Joseph W. Dellapenna
Download or read book The Evolution of the Law and Politics of Water written by Joseph W. Dellapenna and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-21 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to a famous Talmudic story (Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Shabbat: 31a), a gentile once approached Rabbi Hillel and asked to be taught the entire Torah while standing on one foot. Hillel replied, ‘Love your neighbour as yourself. That is the entire Torah. The rest is simply an explanation. Go and learn it!’ In much the same way, Jewish law can be described in one word—Torah. All the rest is simply an explanation. The Torah, also known as the Bible, the five books of Moses, and the Pentateuch, was written over 3,000 years ago. Since then, Jewish law has developed various interpretations and applications of the Torah, interpretations of those interpre- tions, and so on. Jewish law contains civil dictates as well as religious protocol. Problems that arose in the framework of religious life and problems surrounding civil relationships both found solutions in the same legal source—the Torah and the Halacha, the Jewish legal interpretations and rulings. This chapter on water law in the Jewish tradition provides insight into Jewish law and custom in general, and rules related to the protection of water sources in particular. One should not look, however, to find a written code of Jewish law, as there is none.
Book Synopsis Tribal Water Rights by : John E. Thorson
Download or read book Tribal Water Rights written by John E. Thorson and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2016-08-08 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The settlement of Indian water rights cases remains one of the thorniest legal issues in this country, particularly in the West. In a previous book, Negotiating Tribal Water Rights, Colby, Thorson, and Britton presented a general overview of the processes involved in settling such cases; this volume provides more in-depth treatment of the many complex issues that arise in negotiating and implementing Indian water rights settlements. Tribal Water Rights brings together practicing attorneys and leading scholars in the fields of law, economics, public policy, and conflict resolution to examine issues that continue to confront the settlement of tribal claims. With coverage ranging from the differences between surface water and groundwater disputes to the distinctive nature of Pueblo claims, and from allotment-related problems to the effects of the Endangered Species Act on water conflicts, the book presents the legal aspects of tribal water rights and negotiations along with historical perspectives on their evolution.
Book Synopsis Drought, Water Law, and the Origins of California's Central Valley Project by : Tim Stroshane
Download or read book Drought, Water Law, and the Origins of California's Central Valley Project written by Tim Stroshane and published by University of Nevada Press. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an account of how water rights were designed as a key part of the state’s largest public water system, the Central Valley Project. Along sixty miles of the San Joaquin River, from Gustine to Mendota, four corporate entities called “exchange contractors” retain paramount water rights to the river. Their rights descend from the days of the Miller & Lux Cattle Company, which amassed an empire of land and water from the 1850s through the 1920s and protected these assets through business deals and prolific litigation. Miller & Lux’s dominance of the river relied on what many in the San Joaquin Valley regarded as wasteful irrigation practices and unreasonable water usage. Economic and political power in California’s present water system was born of this monopoly on water control. Stroshane tells how drought and legal conflict shaped statewide economic development and how the grand bargain of a San Joaquin River water exchange was struck from this monopoly legacy, setting the stage for future water wars. His analysis will appeal to readers interested in environmental studies and public policy.

Book Synopsis Water Rights Laws in the Nineteen Western States (Classic Reprint) by : Wells A. Hutchins
Download or read book Water Rights Laws in the Nineteen Western States (Classic Reprint) written by Wells A. Hutchins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Rights Laws in the Nineteen Western States This three-volume work on the water rights laws in the 19 Western States is a comprehensive sequel to the 1942 single-volume publication authored by Wells A. Hutchins entitled Selected Problems in the Law of Water Rights in the West. That book was extensively used and the supply was soon exhausted. In the 1950's, he initiated the research needed to prepare the manuscript for this multivolume work. Since the appearance of the 1942 book, there has been a great amount of additional legislation and court decisions and two new Western States had to be considered. Moreover, the present, much more extensive, work treats more facets of the subject and discusses a number of items in greater detail. Rights to the use of water from various surface and underground sources often are of crucial importance in the Western States. The 19 States to which this study relates include the 17 contiguous Western States plus Alaska and Hawaii. The 17 contiguous States comprise the six extending from North Dakota to Texas, the three bordering the Pacific Ocean, and the intervening eight States.

Download or read book Drinking Water written by James Salzman and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2017-06-13 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth look at the changing approaches that environmentalists, governments, and the open market have taken to water through the lens of world history. When we turn on the tap or twist open a tall plastic bottle, we probably don’t give a second thought about where our drinking water comes from. But how it gets from the ground to the glass is far more convoluted than we might think. In this revised edition of Drinking Water, Duke University professor and environmental policy expert James Salzman shows how drinking water highlights the most pressing issues of our time. He adds eye-opening, contemporary examples about our relationship to and consumption of water, and a new chapter about the atrocities that occurred in Flint, Michigan. Provocative, insightful, and engaging, Drinking Water shows just how complex a simple glass of water can be. “A surprising, delightful, fact-filled book.” —Jared Diamond, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel “Instead of buying your next twelve-pack of bottled water, buy this fascinating account of all the people who spent their lives making sure you’d have clean, safe drinking water every time you turned on the tap.” —Bill McKibben, author of Earth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet “Drinking Water effortlessly guides us through a fascinating world we never consider. Even for people who think they know water, there is a surprise on almost every page.” —Charles Fishman, bestselling author of The Big Thirst and The Wal-Mart Effect “Salzman puts a needed spotlight on an often overlooked but critical social, economic, and political resource.” —Publishers Weekly
