Whose water is it anyway? Use of precious waters, particularly in the American West, is governed mostly by the law of prior
appropriation. Morgan, Angel & Associates is especially qualified to conduct historical analysis with respect
to prior appropriative -- or riparian -- rights to a body of water, whether the water is used for general purposes or
for specific applications such as irrigation, mining, and power. Morgan Angel also can answer questions regarding
navigability, historically irrigated acreage, the practically irrigable acreage standard, federal liability and state adjudication
[McCarran Amendment], federal reclamation law, and beneficial use.
Morgan, Angel & Associates also is poised to research matters involving reserved water rights, particularly those associated
with the Winters Doctrine and Indian reservations, whether the water be appurtenant or groundwater, whether the lands
be tribal, allotted, or reacquired
