Böcker av Douglas R. Littlefield

In this first scholarly treatment of the politics of water law along the Rio Grande, Douglas Littlefield describes early interstate and international water-apportionment conflicts and explains how they relate to the development of western water law and policy and to international relations with Mexico.

Provides a legal, social, and environmental history of how western water law shaped, and was shaped by, the subjugation of the largest freshwater wetlands wildlife habitat in the West.
