This book draws on historical sources to trace the emergence of the current framework for resolving water-rights issues to California in the 1850s, during the Gold Rush. FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description Fresh water has become scarce and will become even more so in the coming years, as continued population growth places ever greater demands on the supply of fresh water. At the same time, options for increasing that supply look to be ever more limited. No longer can we rely on technological solutions to meet growing demand. What we need is better management of the available water supply to ensure it goes further toward meeting basic human needs. But better management requires that we both understand the history underlying our current water regulation regime and think seriously about what changes to the law could be beneficial. For Golden Rules, Mark Kanazawa draws on previously untapped historical sources to trace the emergence of the current framework for resolving water-rights issues to California in the 1850s, when Gold Rush miners flooded the newly formed state. The need to circumscribe water use on private property in support of broader societal objectives brought to light a number of fundamental issues about how water rights ought to be defined and enforced through a system of laws. Many of these issues reverberate in today's contentious debates about the relative merits of government and market regulation. By understanding how these laws developed across California's mining camps and common-law courts, we can also gain a better sense of the challenges associated with adopting new property-rights regimes in the twenty-first century. Author Biography Mark Kanazawa is professor of economics at Carleton College. Table of Contents Acknowledgments Preface Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Economic Theory and the Evolution of Water Law Chapter 3: Water and the Technologies of Mining Chapter 4: Watering the Diggings: The Development of the Ditch Industry Chapter 5: The Informal Law of the Mining Camps Chapter 6: Origins of the Common Law of Mining and Water Rights Chapter 7: The Origins of Prior Appropriation Chapter 8: Water Quality and the Law of Nuisance Appendix A Chapter 9: Bursting Dams and the Law of Nuisance Appendix B Chapter 10: Conclusions References Index Review "There has not been much new in the property rights literature for some time, and Kanazawa's book, based on analysis of newspapers, nineteenth-century court cases, and early mining camp rules and company records, is a wonderful addition. It will have broad appeal among legal scholars, historians and students of the American West, political scientists studying local common pool resource management, and economists interested in the development and modification of property Institutions and the role of transaction costs in influencing outcomes." (Gary D. Libecap, University of California, Santa Barbara) Review Quote "Wallace Stegner once observed that 'the Gold Rush was universal mass trespass, and soon invented laws to legitimize itself.' Kanazawa validates that poignant assessment but with a rich detail heretofore missing."
