Land Use Within The California Coastal Zone, California Department Of Water Resources
California Agencies
The way land is used along the California coast is of great concern to the people of California. Our coast is an environmentally sensitive area and an invaluable esthetic and economic asset to our State. An important factor in protecting that asset is knowing what the I and has been used for in the past and how it is being used now so that future use can be channeled in the proper direction.
To aid this process, the Department of Water Resources is publishing this report, which presents the latest land use data assembled by the Department for the coastal …

This bulletin reports on a study of the best and most cost effective ways to introduce such devices into homes. It is based on pilot projects conducted during the summer and fall of 1977 in six California communities of diverse characters and settings.
The lessons learned in the studies described in this report will be of value to water suppliers and citizen groups interested in water conservation. I urge all California water suppliers who have not already done so to adopt aggressive water conservation programs. and commend this report to them as a valuable source of information.

A Proposed Revision Of Kentucky's Water Rights Legislation, Richard Ausness
A Proposed Revision Of Kentucky's Water Rights Legislation, Richard Ausness
KWRRI Research Reports
Kentucky's present system of water law consists of a statutory water withdrawal permit system superimposed upon a body of common-law water rights doctrine. The rights of water users are often uncertain under this system, particularly in periods of water shortage. The proposed revision of Kentucky's existing water rights legislation, would greatly reduce the significance of common-law water rights and would remedy some of the weaknesses in the present statute.
Part 1 of the proposed statute establishes an administrative structure; Part 2 deals with water withdrawal permits; Part 3 retains the present statute's provisions on the regulation of dams and impoundments, …

Our Salty Rivers: Legal And Institutional Approaches To Salinity Management, Ralph W. Johnson
Our Salty Rivers: Legal And Institutional Approaches To Salinity Management, Ralph W. Johnson
Articles
The salinity problem in United States rivers becomes worse each year, and no water law system to date has been developed that adequately addresses salinity management. Professor Johnson discusses the salinity problem and its scope as well as remedial and preventative measures that have been taken in the past. He suggests combating the salinity problem by use of systems analysis, i.e., a comprehensive basinwide or regional management plan that analyzes the entire hydrological, economic, political, and agricultural system.
Commonwealth V. Barnes & Tucker Co.--The Burden Of Treating Acid Mine Drainage, Michael E. Winck
Commonwealth V. Barnes & Tucker Co.--The Burden Of Treating Acid Mine Drainage, Michael E. Winck
West Virginia Law Review
On February 28, 1977, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania decided the case of Commonwealth v. Barnes & Tucker Co. That decision resolved a lengthy controversy over the issue of responsibility for the abatement of acid mine drainage emanating from an inactive deep coal mine which was owned and once operated by Barnes and Tucker Co. The Supreme Court's decision, requiring the company to bear the responsibility for the treatment of the discharge, is significant. It illustrates not only the strength of Pennsylvania's commitment to a clean environment, but also the ability of the state to act in furtherance of that …
Reserved Water Rights, Indian Rights And The Narrowing Scope Of Federal Jurisdiction: The Colorado River Decision, Robert H. Abrams
Reserved Water Rights, Indian Rights And The Narrowing Scope Of Federal Jurisdiction: The Colorado River Decision, Robert H. Abrams
Journal Publications
In 1976, the United States Supreme Court decided Colorado River Water Conservation District v. United States, holding that principles of judicial administration relating to "contemporaneous exercise of concurrent jurisdictions'" command that the federal courts abjure congressionally granted, previously attached jurisdiction of federal claims to reserved water rights.
This Article explores the impact of Colorado River and examines critically the Court's choice to remit to state courts claims involving federally created Indian water rights. Part I of the Article traces the development of federal-state water law relations and analyzes the Colorado River decision in light of this development. Part II examines …

Water Use Permits In A Riparian State: Problems And Proposals, Richard C. Ausness
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Although adequate supplies of water are generally available in Kentucky, the law governing its use and allocation is much less satisfactory. At present, Kentucky water law is a complex mixture of common law and statutory water rights. The purpose of this article is to evaluate these water rights and suggest a number of improvements. Part I will examine the common law rules as they relate to both surface water and ground water. Part II will focus upon Kentucky's present system of statutory water use regulation and will identify some of its more serious deficiencies. Part III will recommend some short-range …
Water That Is Not Water, A. Dan Tarlock, Owen Olpin
Water That Is Not Water, A. Dan Tarlock, Owen Olpin
Articles by Maurer Faculty
The increased interest in the development of geothermal resources has given rise to the need for the formulation of a legal framework in which this development can be carried out. In this article, Mr. Olpin and Professor Tarlock analyze the proper relationship between western water law and geothermal resources development. They present an argument against the blanket application of western water law and propose a means of accommodating geothermal resources development with the protection of conventional water users.
