Western Water Rights and the U.S. Supreme Court

About the author

James Davenport is an experienced natural resource lawyer now residing in Washington State's Yakima Valley. His public policy perspective derives from more than 40 years advising states, counties and private parties competing to secure natural resource amenities or resist environmental harm.

Summary
