Conference tackles water, law conflicts
National, international and local water law experts playing to a packed house made UNL's first water law, policy and science conference a major success.
Finding Solutions to Multi-jurisdictional Water Conflicts was the theme of the March conference at UNL's College of Law, which attracted nearly 270 participants. It was a premier event for UNL's Water Resources Research Initiative, which supports a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary water-related research.
Law professors, attorneys and representatives from state and federal regulatory agencies, natural resources districts, other academics and students attended the conference.
Participants discussed how best to reach sustainable water management decisions that satisfy the needs of people and wildlife. Topics included alternative dispute resolution; water marketing through sales, leases or other transfers; and using the best available science to resolve legal conflicts. Water conflicts from across the country were discussed and placed into context related to water resources allocations in the Platte and Missouri rivers.
Conference sponsors were the Water Resources Research Initiative, College of Law, Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, School of Natural Resources and Water Center, Nebraska Water Conference Council, Rocky Mountain Mineral Law Foundation and Nebraska Bar Association-Natural Resources Section.
