Water law

recently released opinion, the Kansas Court of Appeals for the first time addressed the meaning of Kansas water law. The case of Garetson Brothers v. American Warrior, Inc., 51 Kan. App. 2d 370 (2015), concerns a groundwater dispute between a senior water user and a junior water user in southwest Kansas. After filing a complaint against the junior user, the senior user sought an injunction against the junior user to stop their use of the groundwater. The District Court granted the injunction and the Court of Appeals affirmed the injunction in the case. The Court of Appeal’s decision upholds the principle “first in time is first in right” and finds that Kansas water laws mean what the laws say they mean. Facts The Plaintiffs (Garetson Brothers) owned land with a well on it in Haskell County. The well pumped groundwater from the Ogallala Aquifer for irrigation purposes, but the well produced less water. The water rights for…

should regulate water laws? What if you couldn't cook your favorite food without water?Is it fair farmers use all the water they desire and the citizens are really limited? In California, the citizens are in a drought and want to regulate laws for the reason that farmers are wasting a lot of water for crops. In my opinion, I believe California should control aquifers where as there will be a lot of consequences. Consequently, “It’s been terrible, truly tough,” says the 38-year-old fruit…

In the state of California we are undergoing one of the worst droughts in state records. Nearly about 13,000 people have lost their water sources around East Porterville, California. For this reason and many more i believe that laws need to be made so that farmers are not allowed to take water from other people’s homes and or farms. In an article i read about ground-water laws it states that “ It is expected to cost the state 2.2 bn dollars in 2014 and will put more than 1,700 farm workers…

The topic of clean and safe water is one that needs to be of high priority, as it is what keeps us alive and holds such value to the environment. This is why it is a shame that “Canada is (along with Australia) only one of two Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) member states that does not comply with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommendation that all countries have national, legally binding drinking water quality standards.” (Dunn, Bakker, and Harris, 2014,…

through water in the event that we attempted. We don 't coast too well, can 't relax for long underneath the surface, and quickly tire as we whip through the waves attempting to move ourselves along; in a straight race with a dolphin or a shark, you 'll generally come last! In any case, there 's one major favorable position we people have: we think about science. We see how strengths work and how to utilize them further bolstering our good fortune. On the off chance that you 've never…

1. a. My data demonstrated the law of conservation of mass in part 5 of the experiment, dissolving sugar in water. The law of conservation mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed by can enter or leave the system. The system’s change in mass was 0.00 grams, resulting in support of this statement. The balance had an uncertainty of 0.05 grams. b. With this experiment, we had a closed environment within the vial, not allowing any particles to come in or out, further explaining why…

“Today scientist recognize that all of earth's cycles are connected, even influencing others.” (Hazen Trefil 234). While the rock cycle and water cycle seem as if they have nothing in common they do . Sedimentary rocks are layers or minerals and things like mud. The water cycle produces rain that influences what goes into the layers in sedimentary rocks. Another more obvious example is the atmospheric cycle and the water cycle, with weather influencing the way the water moves through the earth.…

Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to determine the relationship between the temperature and pressure of air at constant volume which placed the Jolly’s bulb in water of different temperature. At the constant volume of the air in the Jolly’s bulb, the temperature and pressure of the air are measured and recorded throughout the experiment. The result shows that the pressure of the air in the Jolly’s bulb increases as the temperature rises, and the pressure decreases as the temperature…

streams and oceans are contained and poisoned with chemicals discharging from factories.The air is very polluted because of smoke, dirt, and exhaust fume. What should we do to protect the environment? This essay will discuss 3 aspects of environmental pollution: causes, effects, and solutions. There are many types of environmental pollution such as: air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution,…… We live on earth, which is known to have an environment, where air and water are 2 basics…

The ultimate purpose of this lab is to find how much copper is in brass using the visible spectroscopy, in addition to the introduction of Beer’s law, a physical law that can be utilized to determine the unknown concentration of a metal ion in a solution if its absorbance is calculated; you can accurately measure it by means of a standard graph called a calibration curve. Also colorimetry, a technique “used to determine the concentration of colored compounds in solution” (Housecroft, Catherine)…
