Washington Water Rights Based On Actual Use Or On Delivery System Capacity? Department Of Ecology V. Theodoratus, Darryl V. Wareham

Third, prior beneficial use, compared to system capacity, more closely addresses contemporary water management concerns. This Note acknowledges the shortcomings of the prior beneficial use doctrine under common law and as codified, and presents further steps that Washington's courts and legislature should …
