Water Law
This course introduces students to the law and policy of water rights, ownership, and use. Most of the course will focus generally on the two major legal systems that exist in the United States: riparian rights in the wetter East, and prior appropriation in the arid West. However, the course will also introduce students to Florida's somewhat unusual system of water law and various contemporary water rights issues in this state. Other topics may include groundwater regulation, interstate water battles, and/or the interaction of federal and state regulation of water. Prerequisites: None
