Abstract
"I started teaching water law in 1962, my first year of teaching. I had never studied water law in law school. It wasn’t taught in any of the eastern schools, and I knew nothing about it, so I started to try to educate myself before I had to face the students. I began by looking at the constitutional and water code provisions in places like California and Colorado. I was astonished by what I saw: the notion that water belongs to people of the state and can never be owned; that it must be used in a reasonable and beneficial way; that it may not be wasted, and so forth." (p.1)
