Deals In The Heartland: Renewable Energy Projects, Local Resistance, And How Law Can Help, Christiana Ochoa
Articles by Maurer Faculty
Informed by original empirical research conducted in the Midwestern United States, this Article provides a rich and textured understanding of the rapidly emerging opposition to renewable energy projects. Beyond the Article’s urgent practical contributions, it also examines the importance of formalism and formality in contracts and complicates current understandings.
Rural communities in every windblown and sun-drenched region of the United States are enmeshed in legal, political, and social conflicts related to the country’s rapid transition to renewable energy. Organized local opposition has foreclosed millions of acres from renewable energy development, impeding national and state-level commitments to achieving renewable energy targets …
Water, Water, Anywhere?: Protecting Water Quantity In State Water Quality Standards, Julie F. Youngman
Water, Water, Anywhere?: Protecting Water Quantity In State Water Quality Standards, Julie F. Youngman
Indiana Law Journal
Although much of the earth’s surface is covered with water, less than one percent of water is available for human use. Water is becoming progressively scarcer worldwide, as demand increases and pollution, drought, and climate change jeopardize access to clean water. The United States is no exception to that trend. Effective regulation of water supplies can blunt the impacts of water scarcity. This Article suggests that states can—and should—regulate instream flows and lake levels in their federally-mandated water quality standards, with an eye toward conserving scarce water resources.

Some Observations On The Law Of Water Allocation As A Variable In Industrial Site Location, Sheldon J. Plager
Some Observations On The Law Of Water Allocation As A Variable In Industrial Site Location, Sheldon J. Plager
Articles by Maurer Faculty
The availability of a water supply is of vital concern to industry. This availability may be affected as much by the applicable legal doctrine as by the accessibility of an adequate water supply. Professor Plager explores the two major riparian doctrines that apply to surface water supplies: "natural flow" and "reasonable use." He concludes that, although the theoretical differences between the two doctrines are often blurred, practical differences are present.
