  • More about Unsettled Waters: Rights, Law, and Identity in the American West


Unsettled Waters is the first detailed study of water adjudication in New Mexico, revealing tensions and conflicts among water sovereigns and the potential for the state to alter adjudications to meet water demands in the twenty-first century.

Format: Hardback
Length: 248 pages
Publication date: 06 November 2018
Publisher: University of California Press


In the American West, water adjudication lawsuits are highly contentious, costly, and time-consuming affairs. Unsettled Waters is the first comprehensive examination of water adjudications in New Mexico. Initially, the state envisioned adjudication as a straightforward process of accounting for water rights as private property. However, the process resurfaced tensions and sparked conflicts among water sovereigns at various scales. This book, based on over ten years of fieldwork, tells a captivating story of resistance involving communal water cultures, Native rights, and fragmented identities, clashes between experts, and unintended outcomes. The ability of the state to adapt adjudications to meet the water demands of the twenty-first century will have far-reaching consequences.
