The Role Of Statutory And Local Rules In Allocating Water Between Large- And Small-Scale Irrigators In An African River Catchment, Madison Condon, Hans Komakech, Pieter Van Der Zaag
The Role Of Statutory And Local Rules In Allocating Water Between Large- And Small-Scale Irrigators In An African River Catchment, Madison Condon, Hans Komakech, Pieter Van Der Zaag

This paper presents a case study of large- and small-scale irrigators negotiating for access to water from Nduruma River in the Pangani River Basin, Tanzania. The paper shows that despite the existence of a formal statutory water permit system, all users need to conform to the existing local rules in order to secure access to water. The spatial geography of Nduruma is such that smallholder farmers are located upstream and downstream, while large-scale irrigators are in the midstream part of the sub-catchment. There is not enough water in the river to satisfy all demands. The majority of the smallholder farmers …

The maintenance of adequate water supplies to meet increasing demand upon residential and industrial users in New England is now an urgent concern. Encouragement of water reuse is one of the ways in which water conservation can be implemented. This Article, synthesized by the authors from their technical report, examines current legal and institutional methods of promoting water reuse and conservation. They analyze their effectiveness and argue that legal and political reform is needed to achieve the ends of water conservation. I
The Legal And Regulatory Framework For Thermal Discharge From Nuclear Power Plants, Michael S. Baram
The Legal And Regulatory Framework For Thermal Discharge From Nuclear Power Plants, Michael S. Baram
Faculty Scholarship
As the rate of electricity generation increases, and as more nuclear power plants-in contrast to fossil fuel and hydro-electric facilities-are built to meet power needs, the use of cooling water and its subsequent discharge in heated states into the environment is expected to rise to massive levels. Estimates of future cooling water use vary and are subject to technical and economic developments, but by 1990, between 640 and 850 billion gallons per day are expected to be required. This range of water use can be roughly equated to one-half to three fourths of the average daily run-off of fresh water …
