water rights  

Definición

  • Water rights in the western United States are among the most continuously contentious areas of political life, as the region, with the exceptions of the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and Hawai'i, is characterized by aridity. The need for water pits rural agricultural interests against the continual expansion of urban and suburban areas in the region. [Source: Encyclopedia of Politics of the American West; Water Rights]
