Water Sharing In The West

Western water law, based on prior appropriation, is not associated with a sharing mentality. Instead, it’s first in time, first in right, and the devil take the hindmost.
Join us as our esteemed panel of experts explore the multi-jurisdictional nature of water appropriation from historical pueblo water rights, to the Supreme Court’s recent Arizona v. Navajo Nation decision, to some cutting edge ideas on fair water allocation coming out of Orange County.
Welcome by Chief Judge Philip S. Gutierrez
