Tribal Water Cases

Western water law has given a number of western tribes the opportunity to sue for water rights. Very different types of claims have been filed and I have testified in a number of them. The Coeur d’Alene filed a claim which was based in part on actual use of water. The Zuni filed a claim based on historical use at the time of United States sovereignty in the region. The Klamath claim was for in-stream flow for salmon recovery and for the health of other fish species found within their watershed at the time of the establishment of the reservation.
