Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
From the Great Lakes to pristine northern streams, Wisconsin boasts a plentiful and valuable array of water resources.

The most alluring and perhaps the most vital of these sources are the Great Lakes. In recognition that such straws may descend and that “Future Diversions and Consumptive Uses of Basin Water resources have the potential to …

Marquette Law Review
