Understand how water is managed, protected, and allocated in the arid West, and what it means for farmers, industries, and communities. This edition analyzes the benefits of irrigation, the risks of mismanaging water power, and the need for a clear, enforceable system to safeguard this vital resource.
The text frames water conservation as essential to economic growth and forest health, argues for public stewardship over private control, and discusses proposed laws and administrative changes. It explores historical challenges, debates about riparian rights, and the practical steps that could bring order to distribution, recording, and adjudication of water rights.
Ideal for readers of policy, law, or agricultural history who want a clear view of early 20th‑century ideas about water governance and its impact on communities.
