Practical politics are identified as one of the reasons why state legislatures have singled out coal-slurry pipelines in their regulation of water resources. The western states face a complex problem in establishing water-appropriation systems that can meet future as well as present needs. Wyoming's Water Export Law and the Commerce Clause are examined as a potential model for other states considering the use of slurry pipelines to transport coal and desiring to learn from Wyoming's experience, which judges the Commerce Clause to have placed unreasonable and unconstitutional burdens on interstate commerce. Alternatives to Wyoming's statute and modifications to the intrastate water-appropriation system to include export on the basis of socio-economic and environmental, rather than legislative terms, are suggested. 96 references.
