Dear member of the GEP-Ed community, I hope this email finds you well. I'm circling back to share the resources I've received after asking for reading suggestions on water rights. I have received a message from Charles Chester and another one from Travis Stills. Thank you both for the precious references! They were all very helpful, and I'm listing them here:
Suggestions from Travis Stills - Book "Water Law in a Nutshell" by David Getches. The book is currently in its 6th edition, but according to Travis the 4th edition (2009) is the most direct and understandable. - Several books and articles by Charles F. Wilkinson on water and indigenous rights in the US, particularly the books "American Indians, time, and the law: Native societies in a modern constitutional democracy" (1987) and "Blood struggle: The rise of modern Indian nations" (2005) - The Winters Doctrine of 1908 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winters_v._United_States> sets the standards for the US government to acknowledge water rights of Indigenous Peoples - Book "Mayordomo: Chronicle of an Acequia in Northern New Mexico" by Stanley Crawford (link <https://farmshop.lospoblanos.com/products/mayordomo>) Suggestions from Charles Chester - Charles runs the website "EarthWeb.Info <http://earthweb.info/>" which has a *wealth* of information on water resources (freshwater, drinking water and groundwater) - River restoration and dam removal (link <https://www.americanrivers.org/>) - National Ground Water Association (link <https://www.ngwa.org/>) - National Drought Mitigation Center (link <https://www.ngwa.org/>) - Babbitt Center for Land and Water Policy (link <https://www.lincolninst.edu/our-work/babbitt-center-land-water-policy>) - Article "In Search of Solutions" (link <https://www.lincolninst.edu/publications/articles/2021-01-in-search-solutions-water-and-tribes-initiative-encourages-collaborative-approach-to-colorado-river-management> ) - Book "Cadillac Desert" by Marc Reisner (1986) Thank you again!
