Ditching Our Innocence: The Clean Water Act In The Age Of The Anthropocene, Rachael Salcido, Karrigan Bork

McGeorge School of Law Scholarly Articles

Humanity has entered the Age of the Anthropocene, a geologic era marked by the emergence of human activity as the single most dominant influence on Earth’s environment. Every ecosystem shows

signs of anthropogenic influence, and the environments we experience everyday are often shaped almost entirely by human actions and decisions. The new discipline of reconciliation ecology recognizes this

reality and suggests that we must manage the new habitats we create in order to protect species diversity and ecosystem services. But the 2015 rule defining the jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act explicitly excludes

many manmade environments, including many artificial lakes, …

International Water Law For The 21st Century: The Contribution Of The U.N. Convention, Stephen C. Mccaffrey

McGeorge School of Law Scholarly Articles

In May, 1997, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Law of the Non- Navigational Uses of International Watercourses, a treaty that largely codifies the general principles of international water law. While not entirely free from controversy, the Convention has already been influential and will doubtless continue to be well into the 21st century. This paper provides an overview of the Convention, comments on some of its salient provisions, and considers its future influence.

The Harmon Doctrine One Hundred Years Later: Buried, Not Praised, Stephen C. Mccaffrey

McGeorge School of Law Scholarly Articles

This article looks closely at the Harmon Doctrine in historical context. An examination of the conduct of the United States during the dispute with Mexico over the Rio Grande that …
