Excerpt from Selected Cases on Water Rights and Irrigation Law in California and Western States The purpose in selecting these cases has been to furnish as complete a study as possible of the Law of Water Rights. Because of lack of space where the California and Colorado doctrines conflict upon any principle, no attempt has been made to use cases establishing the Colorado doctrine. In arranging the cases it has been the aim to place them in such order as to follow the growth and development of one principle from another. Such an arrangement should aid the student to more readily understand the underlying reasons and sound logic upon which this branch of our jurisprudence has been built. The chief advantage of the study of law by cases is that the student is trained by this method better than by any other to extract from the cases the principles of law upon which the decision is based. Therefore, the statements of reporters, and points, authorities and arguments of counsel, have been left out. For the sake of brevity and a clearer understanding of the law, parts of decisions dealing with other questions than those having to do with Water Rights have also been omitted. As the cases selected are intended to be used by those desiring a knowledge of the Law of Water Rights as it exists in the Pacific and some of the semi-arid states of the west, the latest decisions of the courts of these states are presented rather than English, eastern or older western cases.

Excerpt from California Irrigation District Laws This bulletin contains in complete form only those laws relating to California irrigation district organizations which come before the state engineer or the state bond certification commission for some part of their procedure. There are other statutes providing for additional forms of organization with which neither the state engineer nor bond certification commission has any official duties. Such statutes are briefly described herein but are not included. The extent to which the different forms of irrigation district laws have been utilized in the irrigation development of the state has made it desirable to assemble such acts together with their amendments in convenient published form. The number and importance of the changes made in these acts at each session of the legislature has made it essential to revise these publications following each session. This has been done, and the bulletins of this department containing these laws for past years are listed together with other bulletins of the department on the inside back cover of this publication. There are other acts relating to the functions of the Division of Water Resources which are not contained in this bulletin. Such acts include the water commission act, and the act relating to the supervision of dams. References to separate publications of these acts, where available, are also given inside the back cover of this bulletin. The wide variation in the conditions in different areas desiring to organize for irrigation development in California has resulted in the enactment of a similarly wide variety of acts for such purposes. Such variations include those of size of the area to be organized, extent and character of the purposes to be accomplished, extent of the cost, nature of land ownership, and type of agricultural practice. For areas requiring extensive financing carefully worked out acts providing for the procedure for such financing are available. For areas of low cost desiring simplicity of operation, less formal types of organization may be used. There follows a brief discussion of the various California conservation acts, the first five of which are published in full in this bulletin. This discussion is a summary of a similar part of Bulletin 21 of the Department of Public Works, Division of Engineering and Irrigation, entitled "Irrigation Districts in California," which contains detail information regarding individual districts organized under the more important acts. California Irrigation District Act. This term is used specifically to describe the act governing organizations formed under the older or Wright irrigation district law with its subsequent amendments. While organizations under all similar laws are in a general sense, irrigation districts, other laws have been given various distinguishing titles in an effort to avoid confusion. This act is also frequently referred to as the California Irrigation District Act. The original or Wright Act, passed in 1887, was largely rewritten by the Bridgeford Act in 1897, and has been extensively amended by nearly every recent legislature.
