University Casebook Series
Water Resource Management: A Casebook in Law and Public Policy (University Casebook Series)
Product details
Description
This casebook, significantly revised since the last edition, addresses both traditional water law rules and modern water management challenges. It covers Eastern and Western U.S. water law in detail, examining both classic principles and statutory modifications of the riparian rights and prior appropriation doctrines.
It also explores public dimensions of water law, with chapters devoted to public water uses and the Public Trust Doctrine, environmental quality issues in water management, and government takings relating to water use restrictions and flood damages. In addressing issues from drought to flooding, the book considers the challenges posed by climate change for managing water resources in the 21st Century.
In addition to the inclusion of important new cases, legislation, and federal and state administrative developments, substantial changes in the new 8th edition include:
an entirely new chapter addressing issues of conjunctive management of ground and surface water —a first for water casebooks. a completely revamped chapter on groundwater law, with new text on groundwater hydrology, allocation, and management. substantially revised chapters dealing with federal water projects, federal and tribal reserved rights, and interstate water issues.
While the book remains national in scope, this edition offers new material from states with major recent developments in water law, including California, Colorado, the Pacific Northwest states, and Texas.

Shipping & Returns
-
Fast, standard shipping
Most students receive their books in 3 to 9 business days.
-
Free rental returns, whenever you are done
Print a prepaid return label from your account whenever you have finished with the book, and drop it at the carrier listed on the label. Returning early costs you nothing: it is the same free label, and sending it back sooner is welcome. Just be sure it reaches us by the semester deadline to avoid late fees.
-
Purchase returns: 15% restocking fee
Purchases can be returned within 30 days in the condition you received. We will email a prepaid return label; once we receive your book, we refund the purchase price minus the 15% restocking fee and the return label cost. Original shipping is non-refundable.
-
Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book is always free.
Rental Terms
Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price. Late fees stop once your book ships back or the total reaches the book's replacement value (its Brand New price) - you never pay more than that. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free: print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page, whether you send it back early or on the semester deadline. Cancelling a shipped rental for a refund is different: there, the return label cost comes out of your refund.
- 30-Day Cancellation
- Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, we refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable.
