International Cooperation Over Water Use In Central Asia, Jaume Saura Estapà
International Cooperation Over Water Use In Central Asia, Jaume Saura Estapà
Jaume Saura Estapà
The aim of this paper is to analyse one of the key factors for understanding the region ofCentral Asia: its distinctive relationship to water resources. The first section examines the management of water resources in the region from the viewpoint of the obligation of cooperation established in general international law. Then, we explore the implications of water management in terms of the rights of citizens, regional cooperation in the management, conservation and sustainable development of the inland fisheries of Central Asia, and cooperation in the generation and distribution of hydroelectric power in the region.
The Philippine Treaty Limits And Territorial Water Claim In International Law, Lowell Bautista
The Philippine Treaty Limits And Territorial Water Claim In International Law, Lowell Bautista
Lowell Bautista
The fundamental position of the Philippines regarding the extent of its territorial and maritime boundaries is based on two contentious premises: first, that the limits of its national territory are the boundaries laid down in the 1898 Treaty of Paris which ceded the Philippines from Spain to the UnitedStates; and second, that all the waters embraced within these imaginary lines are its territorial waters. The position of the Philippine Government is contested in the international community and runs against rules in the Law of the SeaConvention, which the Philippines signed and ratified. This situation poses two fundamental unresolved issues of …
The Historical Background, Geographical Extent And Legal Bases Of The Philippine Territorial Water Claim, Lowell Bautista
The Historical Background, Geographical Extent And Legal Bases Of The Philippine Territorial Water Claim, Lowell Bautista
Lowell Bautista
The Philippine territorial water claim is unique in international law. On the basis of historic right of title, the Philippines claims a rectangular territorial sea fully enclosing the entirety of the archipelago, which at some points exceed 12 nautical miles in breadth. The 1982 Law of the Sea Convention, which the Philippines signed and ratified, prescribes the maximum breadth of the territorial sea at 12 nautical miles. For this reason, the Philippine territorial sea claim has been criticized for being excessive. This paper will discuss and clarify the historical background, geographical extent, and legal bases of the Philippine territorial water …

Issue Brief: Auditing Your Town's Development Code For Barriers To Sustainable Water Management, New England Environmental Finance Center
Sustainable Communities Capacity Building
This issue brief is intended for town officials who want to understand how development regulations in their community affect local water resources. Municipal development codes – the set of regulations that control the built environment – can have a great influence on the availability of clean and healthy water for drinking, recreation, and commercial uses. This in turn affects the community’s social, environmental, and economic vitality.
Comprehensive plans, zoning codes, and building standards are just a few examples of regulations that intentionally or unintentionally regulate the way water is transported, collected and absorbed. Regulations that produce dispersed development or large …

In the United States today, the goal of universal water service is slipping out of reach. Water costs are rising across the country, forcing many individuals to forgo running water or sanitation, or to sacrifice other essential human rights. The fixed costs of water systems have increased in recent years, driven in part by underinvestment in infrastructure. In many cities, this has been exacerbated by population shifts and the economic downturn. In this era of increasing costs and limited financial resources, water providers struggle to balance the competing priorities of modernization and universal access. This report, researched and written by …
Avoiding Jeopardy, Without The Questions: Recovery Implementation Programs For Endangered Species In Western River Basins, Reed D. Benson
Avoiding Jeopardy, Without The Questions: Recovery Implementation Programs For Endangered Species In Western River Basins, Reed D. Benson
Michigan Journal of Environmental & Administrative Law
The application of the Endangered Species Act to water resources has generated much controversy in the American West. In several western river basins, however, Recovery Implementation Programs (RIPs) provide an alternative, collaborative approach to ESA compliance. These programs offer an enhanced role for states and stakeholders in ESA decisionmaking, and increased certainty that ESA requirements will not disrupt ongoing water project operations and established uses. This Article examines the origins, purposes, and elements of various RIPs, with particular emphasis on these programs’ approach to compliance with the requirements of ESA section 7 for federal agency actions. The Article also considers …
Towards A Legal Framework For A Single National Ballast Water Management Scheme In Australia, Ben M. Tsamenyi, Stuart B. Kaye, Alison Castle
Towards A Legal Framework For A Single National Ballast Water Management Scheme In Australia, Ben M. Tsamenyi, Stuart B. Kaye, Alison Castle
Professor Ben M Tsamenyi
Introduced Marine Pests (IMPs) pose a serious threat to marine biodiversity in Australia. There are many ways pests are introduced into the marine environment. The major vectors for IMPs are ballast water, ship fouling, accidental introductions due to mariculture and deliberate introduction. The focus of this paper is on the administrative and legislative response to the introduction of IMPs through ballast water. Historically, ballast water accounts for only 15-20 per cent of the invasive marine species found in Australia. Ballast water is, however, becoming the major threatening vector in the last two decades. The current ballast water legislative and administrative …
World’S Worst Game Of Telephone: Attempting To Understand The Conversation Between Texas’S Legislature And Courts On Groundwater, Amy Hardberger
World’S Worst Game Of Telephone: Attempting To Understand The Conversation Between Texas’S Legislature And Courts On Groundwater, Amy Hardberger
Faculty Articles
Texas has flourished in recent years, and its continued growth is predicated on access to groundwater resources. Texans have a long-standing dependence on groundwater, which accounts for 60% of all water withdrawn in the state. The State’s ability to provide sufficient groundwater resources depends on effective groundwater management.
Texas groundwater management has a long history of intertwined court decisions and legislation. The common law of groundwater was established by the Texas Supreme Court in accordance with the English common law right of capture. This rule was subsequently modified by the Legislature through the Conservation Amendment to the Texas Constitution, which …

Settler Colonialism And Reclamation: Where American Indian Law And Natural Resources Law Meet, Sarah Krakoff

Three hours west of Phoenix, Arizona, the Colorado River Indian Tribes (“CRIT”), a federally recognized tribe that includes over 3,700 enrolled members of Mohave, Chemehuevi, Navajo, and Hopi descent, occupies a reservation nearly 300,000 acres in size. The CRIT was one of five tribes to have its water rights confirmed in the landmark case of Arizona v. California, and therefore has senior rights to 719,248 acre-feet of Colorado River water, nearly one-third of Arizona’s allocation. How the CRIT came to be a single federally recognized tribe composed of members from four indigenous peoples located on lands that were a fraction …
