News from the West
This month in the West are three state Supreme Court cases affecting water. First, the Arizona Supreme Court determined that landowners can not reserve and sever the potential future use of groundwater from the overlying real property. Next, the California Supreme Court found that seepage or flooding from a hazardous waste storage facility may constitute a “sudden and accidental” discharge of hazardous waste. Finally, the Colorado Supreme Court held that the water used in coalbed methane production constituted a beneficial use and therefore outof-priority diversions for this use were not allowed without a well permit.
