Water law is an ever-evolving area of law. Since our first edition there have been considerable changes due to court decisions in hundred of cases and statutory changes in several states. A chapter has been added on surface use of waters in light of the increased importance of public recreational water uses. Throughout this edition, wherever appropriate, information has been expanded on in-stream flow protection, water quality and public interest concerns in water use and water allocation.
