United States Flood Control Policy: The Incomplete Transition From The Illusion Of Total Protection To Risk Management, A. Dan Tarlock Oct 2012

United States Flood Control Policy: The Incomplete Transition From The Illusion Of Total Protection To Risk Management, A. Dan Tarlock

All Faculty Scholarship

Until the mid-twentieth century, the story of modern flood control was the transition from adaptation to the inevitable to an expectation that government would provide maximum flood prevention and generous post-disaster relief for floodplain dwellers. For the last sixty years or so, the story has been the growing recognition, especially as the understanding of climate change has increased, that the goal of maximum protection is unobtainable because flood damage is an inevitable risk that can only be managed, but never totally avoided. Thus, we are now making the transition to the idea that we must manage floodplains through a combination …

Introductory Note To Dispute Regarding Navigational And Related Rights (Costa Rica V. Nicaragua), International Court Of Justice, Judgment Of 13 July 2009, Nienke Grossman

All Faculty Scholarship

The Dispute Regarding Navigational and Related Rights (Costa Rica v. Nicaragua) concerns the rights of Nicaragua and Costa Rica over part of the San Juan River, located in the territory of the former, but whose right bank and certain navigational rights belong to the latter. In its July 13, 2009 Judgment, the International Court of Justice ("ICJ") made a number of specific rulings regarding the scope of Costa Rica's right to free navigation, Nicaragua's power to regulate that right, and Costa Rican riparians' subsistence fishing rights. Aside from its immediate significance for the litigating parties, the Judgment is noteworthy for …


The International Joint Commission And Great Lakes Diversions: Indirectly Extending The Reach Of The Boundary Waters Treaty, A. Dan Tarlock Nov 2008

The International Joint Commission And Great Lakes Diversions: Indirectly Extending The Reach Of The Boundary Waters Treaty, A. Dan Tarlock

All Faculty Scholarship

The 1909 Boundary Waters Treaty (Treaty) is a model of, international water resources cooperation because it provides a permanent dispute mechanism, the six member International Joint Commission (IJC). Thus, both Canada and the United States have much to celebrate on the 100th anniversary of the Treaty. However, the most interesting aspect of the Treaty is the regime's ability to evolve through state practice beyond its original dispute resolution function, despite the inconsistent support for IJC involvement in transboundary water issues of the United States. The Treaty has been severely criticized by governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), especially in, Canada, for …


Water Security, Fear Mitigation And International Water Law (Symposium), A. Dan Tarlock Jul 2008

Water Security, Fear Mitigation And International Water Law (Symposium), A. Dan Tarlock

All Faculty Scholarship

Water lawyers, courts, and others in the water community are fond of quoting the quip attributed to Mark Twain, "whiskey is for drinking and water is for fighting over." Not only is there no evidence that Twain ever uttered these words, but the quote has taken on a life of its own which grossly distorts the nature of water competition disputes, especially state to state competition. Both whiskey and water are for human benefit and exist in sufficient quantities throughout the world to satisfy present and future demand. Meeting these demands will be challenging because water must be managed to …


Ecosystem Services In The Klamath Basin: Battlefield Casualties Or The Future?, A. Dan Tarlock Apr 2007

Ecosystem Services In The Klamath Basin: Battlefield Casualties Or The Future?, A. Dan Tarlock

All Faculty Scholarship

The Upper Klamath Basin in southern Oregon and northern California has long been characterized by its aridity, remoteness from population centers, and short growing season. Today, the entire Klamath Basin is known for the intensity and bitterness of the competing demands for its limited, dependable water supplies. The Upper Basin irrigation community's entrenched water entitlements, enjoyed undisturbed for a century, are being challenged by Indian tribes, government and non-governmental entities acting to enforce the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and Lower Basin fishing communities. Over a century of intensive upstream irrigation diversions and dams has produced a highly stressed ecosystem from …

Water Supply And Urban Growth In New Mexico: Same Old, Same Old Or A New Era?, (With L. Lucero), A. Dan Tarlock Mar 2003

Water Supply And Urban Growth In New Mexico: Same Old, Same Old Or A New Era?, (With L. Lucero), A. Dan Tarlock

All Faculty Scholarship

New Mexico and other arid western states face the following dilemma: Rapid urban growth and the increasing demand for the dedication of water to aquatic ecosystem services are placing new stresses on the ability of available water supplies to support these new demands at a time when a coherent federal supply and water policy no longer exists and states have been slow to fill the vacuum. The answer to the increasing demand for water is no longer simply to augment supply through new diversions, high-capacity wells, or the construction of large storage reservoirs. Instead, in today's increasingly unmediated, competitive water …
