<br />The Conference on 'Vater Resources and the Law has
<br />been scheduled by ehe Universiey of Michigan Law School
<br />because of the increasing demands upon the water resourCes
<br />of the nation. T\\'cntY-lwo states recently have either es.
<br />tablished special water study commissions or enacteu some
<br />type of legislation affecting the LIse of water resources.
<br />l\-Ioreovcr, acute waler shortage problems are emerging daily
<br />in cenain watersheds. Necessarily the rules of law in the
<br />eastern United States, which were based upon an abundance
<br />of W3ler. deserve re-examination in the lighl_ of increased
<br />economic activity and population growth. The participants
<br />in the Conference \\o'ill explore the nature of the water law
<br />proulem and pOlL'ntial solutions. In addition. the Confer-
<br />ence will give special consideration to the proposed !\lodel
<br />Conservation of 'Vater Resources Act prepared by the
<br />Legislative Research Center of the University of ~Iichigan
<br />Law School. Finally, ehe Conferellce will explore ,he
<br />desirability of calling a major water law conference during
<br />J 958 where specialists will be asked to explore specific prob.
<br />lems and recommend possible solutions.
<br />The Conference will proceed along ehe lines of a work.
<br />shop. Its specially invited participants consist of a cross-
<br />section of those interested in the water problem; including
<br />engineers, economists, and lawyers, reprcsenting industry.
<br />thc Federal Government, state and local governments, and
<br />educational institutions. The discussion leaders will present
<br />basic problems for discussion, and the participants will
<br />contribute through free discussion their ideas and expcri.
<br />cnees relcvant to the particular problems, Through this
<br />medium of interchange of ideas, it is hoped that significant
<br />problem areas will be defined and solutions will be ex-
<br />amined. The ~JodeJ Act will serve as a basis of discussing
<br />the desirability and practicability o( revising existing law
<br />in connection with water use. The ModeJ Act basically
<br />proposes the sub!ititution o( a permit system administered
<br />by a state agency for the riparian doctrine now applied in
<br />the eastern United States. It is hoped that thorough ex-
<br />amination of this proposal will lead to concrete suggestions
<br />for the further development of waler law principles.
