Water Rights And Water Quality: Interrelationships And Implications

Water rights and water quality issues are interrelated, but most legal frameworks tend to focus on one or the other. An understanding of applicable laws and the intersection between the two fields is essential to anyone active in the sector. Regardless of how you use water - municipal water supplies, commercial processes, agriculture, or mining - the diversion, use, and return or disposal of the water must comply with the law.

This live webinar will provide an overview of the principal water rights laws throughout the country as well as the Federal Clean Water Act, the cornerstone of water quality regulation. The speakers will also provide examples and case studies of approaches for compliance. The webinar will be useful to water practitioners, experts, consultants, managers and regulators of all sorts, whether you focus on supply or quality aspects and wherever one is located.
