Interstate use of water - Sporhase v. El Paso, Pike and Vermejo

Journal Article · · Land Water Law Rev.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5932082
A review of court rulings over water allocation examines the tests of a valid or permissible state restriction on interstate commerce. The cases differ in that the Sporhase Court ruled that water could move across the state line in a regulated market transaction, while the El Paso Court regulates state officials in the performance of resource allocation in the public domain. The author reviews the implications of these and other decisions which address the protection of local citizens and property holders by requiring exporters to replace the resource either capitalization or some other contribution of equal value.
