Abstract

The Friant — San Joaquin River litigation in the Federal courts, popularly known as Rank versus Krug, involved a wide scope of current issues in the field of water law in the Western United States, as well as court recognition of unusual geologic and hydrologic features of a stream system and its related ground water. It is also interesting as an example of water conservation to be accomplished through an engineer’s physical solution incorporated in a court order. The paper states briefly the issues, the history of the case, and highlights of the decision with striking extracts from the opinions of the district and circuit courts.
