The appropriation rights at the time had four essential elements namely: priority, the benefit of using water, diversion, and intent. Regarding this, the first individual to utilize the given quantity of water from its sources on operations that are deemed beneficial possessed the right of continued usage while others utilized the remaining portions. This fact rendered the doctrine of having the priority element. The person using the water could not make changes on the intention of water appropriation hindering the water usage by the other person. The second users were granted with the preservation of conditions “Farmers High Line v. City of Golden” (Beck 15).
Activities that were associated with water benefits were on household, industry, …show more content…
It originated from England in 1850 and the owners of the lands adjacent to the water bodies possessed the rights of making reasonable usage of the water as it flows. If the quantity of water was not enough in the satisfaction of all the users, allotments were done depending on the frontage proportion of the source (Beck 23). Unlike the appropriation rights, these rights could not be sold unless the individual decided to sell the entire farm. There was no transfer of water out of the watershed with no prior consideration of the riparian landowner's rights. The rights came along with accessibility to boating, swimming, and erecting of docking structures, fishing, domestic usage and exclusive usage in circumstances where the body of water was non-navigable. The rights called for reasonable usage which ensured that there were fairness and equity in the riparian users.
In riparian water rights, water was treated as public utility just like sunlight, air, and wildlife. In the determination of the contour rights, clarity of distinction was made in consideration of navigable and the non-navigable water. The farm found near the navigable water belonged to the state and was subjected to entire public laws. In this case, the rights were subject to public rights just like any other public goods. On the other hand, the non-navigable were identified with private …show more content…
This later extended to other parts of the world. The main reasons for the pipeline water supply were to provide clean drinking water from the lakes or rivers. However, the water was not initially treated. The reason was because the relationship between diseases and waterborne pathogens had not been established. Later on, filtration and chlorination became a center of focus which drastically caused a reduction in typhoid and cholera ailments. In the rapidly growing cities, the capacity of water users outweighed its availability. Thus the construction of water reservoirs and piping became a priority.
The sewerage systems during the time were built in combined sewers. These combined sewers carried both untreated sewage and storm water and eventually discharged them into a sea, lake or river causing pollution. The main reason for the selection of the sewerage system was based on the view that the system was cheaper to build. An example of this sewage was constructed in the 1850s in Chicago. The ease involved in building of the sewerages was advantageous. The resources to be used were readily
