Center for Water Policy Director, Professor, and Lynde B. Uihlein Endowed Chair Melissa Scanlan co-authored the 7th edition of “Water Law in a Nutshell,” published by West Academic. This newest edition, co-authored with water law professors Sandra Zellmer from the University of Montana School of Law and Adell Amos from the University of Oregon School of Law, adds dozens of recent decisions and key statutory changes. The 7th edition explains legal changes in evolving areas like climate disruption, groundwater-surface water conflicts, public recreational uses, instream flow protection, federal water development, takings claims, and water access and equity. Center for Water Policy alumni Daniel McLennon and Emma Ehrlich provided research assistance.
This book is an excellent aid for students, practitioners, and judges. Copies are available to purchase on the West Academic website in both eBook and softbound formats.
