"This groundbreaking work is the first to devote itself to interstate and federal-interstate compacts pertaining to controversies including the abatement of water pollution, apportionment of river waters, economic development, flood control, inland fisheries, marine fisheries, and restoration to rivers of anadromous fish such as salmon and shad. The process for entering into interstate and federal-interstate compacts is explained in detail, as is the exercise of original jurisdiction by the US Supreme Court to resolve intractable interstate controversies involving interpretation of provisions of compact, water apportionment, and water pollution abatement"--Provided by publisher.

"In this volume are collected all of the interstate compacts presently in force among States of the American Union which apportion or govern the consumptive use of the waters of interstate streams, which have to do with the prevenion or amelioration of pollution of such waters, or which deal with the control of floods and problems associated therewith. This volume also includes, either by reference or in full text, all those like compacts which, though ratified by at least one State, did not come into force because of the failure of ratification by another party or because the consent of the Congress was not given. In addition, there are collected in it the treaties between the United States and Canada or Mexico and the decisions of the United States Supreme Court in interstate litigation which cover the three subjects outlined above."--Page iii.
