Synopsis

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the powers granted under the Interstate Commerce Clause to the Federal Government in regulating the development and use of water power within the United States. With a focus on how these powers have been shaped by interwoven state, federal, and riparian rights to navigable and nonnavigable streams, the author examines questions relating to the imposition of charges for water power developed on nonnavigable streams and the authority of the Government to control the disposition of water power to consumers. The author also includes a thorough discussion of cases, constitutional and statutory provisions, and relevant acts of Congress to illustrate the evolution of this complex legal landscape. As such, this book will be a valuable resource for scholars, legal practitioners, and policymakers concerned with water rights, environmental law, and the scope of federal authority under the Commerce Clause.
