Preface to Revised Edition

In late 1992 we discovered that we had completely sold out our printing of the
original edition, published in 1989. A quick check with our original authors revealed an
almost universal willingness to participate in an update to the first book. We asked all
the authors to bring their original chapters up to date at a minimum and, for the state
chapters, to provide something of an assessment of the status of in-place water protection
in their state.

In most cases the chapters in this revised edition are substantially rewritten. Not
only have important new developments since 1989 been added, but often, the analysis
and presentation have been changed considerably. We have added one new chapter, and
there are two new authors for our state chapters.

The result is a product that not only provides the most current and comprehensive
discussion available of western in-place water resources law but also contains, in our
view, a sophisticated analysis of the state of the law and its implementation to date.
Perhaps no other area of western water law is experiencing a similar level of
development and change. We are happy to be able to provide this update to the law of
in-place water protection.
