<br />Water Case

<br />
<br />Concern :'over . dwmdlln&' water
<br />supplies will come before the u.s.
<br />Supreme .Court .on .Tuesday' as.;a
<br />.pair of, Colorado ranchers and.the
<br />. state. of Nebraska argue ,over wa-
<br />.terrights:" ..' '
<br />'A lawsuit challenging a NEtlraS-
<br />. ka . water law that prohibits the
<br />. transfer of .water from within the
<br />.state's boundaries to other slates
<br />has been moving up through the
<br />courts smce 1977.' The Ccjorado
<br />men say water is a commodity that
<br />may be transported between the
<br />states under the commerce clause
<br />of the U.S. Constitution. .-'" - '.. -"
<br />Ten . western st.ates~ inc'tuding
<br />Colorado and Wyoming, .have tak.
<br />en an active interest in:the case,
<br />filing ~briefs as '.'friends. of the
<br />court"~supporting Nebraska's,pOSl-
<br />tion. The states are concerned that
<br />. if Nebraska's 'water-control laws
<br />. are compromiSed. theirs may fol.
<br />low. . '.
<br />Nebraska Assistant Attorney
<br />General Rod - Anderson,. who will
<br />. argue' the .state.s ca.5e. wantS the
<br />.Supr.eme.Co~ to.co~irm Nebras-
<br />ka's right to 1imlt "thi distribution
<br />of.water outside its bOund8nes.
<br />. The heart of the issue, accordirig
<br />to. AndersOn, IS whether UJ,e com.
<br />. merce clause applies to WIlter...Un-
<br />der the clause, Congress hkS the uJ-
<br />lImate . power to regulate com-
<br />merce among the stales. '. .'. '.
<br />. Challenging .the Nebr8.ska water
<br />law are Joy-Sporhase and Delmer
<br />Moss.. whO. together own farmland
<br />that straddles the NebrasJul..colo-
<br />rado .border. Their pr~rty in
<br />Philllps County m 'extreme eastern
<br />> Colorado and their land'm Nebras.
<br />ka's Chase'County' are separated
<br />by a road: .' . . .

<br />pumped wate( through an under-
<br />. ground. pipellne from a well on the
<br />Nebr:,aska property to their farm-
<br />land' on the. Colorado 'side. .W1thout .
<br />havtng 'obtained. the permit re-
<br />'quired by Nebraska law. .
<br />In September 1m; Nebraska At.
<br />torney .General Paul Dcaigias filed'
<br />a lawsuit to stop the.water transfer
<br />. until the men received a permit
<br />from the state. '. .
