Adapting water laws to increasing demand and a changing climate
Stress on water resources throughout the world is increasing, challenging the institutions and laws that govern water use. Groundwater management efforts in Southern California have had remarkable success despite more than a half-century of strained water resources. This article explores the local, self-governing management tools that have functioned within California’s extremely complex water rights system and are responsible for water management success in Southern California, and suggests that these tools can be employed effectively around the world.
