Washington Water Rights—A Sketch, Arval A. Morris
Washington Law Review
The general water policy applicable to unappropriated land within Washington Territory was that of prior appropriation and was announced by the Congress at an early date.6 Congressional enactments were passed in order to conform policy to the then existing practice of appropriation of water to a beneficial use and to encourage settlement of new areas. The Desert Land Act of 1877 effected a severance of all unappropriated non-navigable water from the public domain and made these waters publici juris.

While west of the Cascade Range there was relatively little or no shortage of available water, east of the Cascades the problem was serious. In many parts water was scarce and much capital required to make it available for use. Where, however, water was available in artesian basins, streams or rivers, conflicts arose among competing users. Regrettable as those conflicts were, they did, however, cause the legislature and courts to regulate and pass upon claims made. In …
