Desalination: An Additional Water Source for Southern California’s Water Crisis and an Unsustainable 1944 U.S.-Mexico Water Treaty
(University of Oregon School of Law, 2016-07-11) Alskaf, Hala
The condition of Southern California’s water is deceptive. Water in the region appears abundant, from the seemingly unlimited supply to the miles of lush greenery. The region has suffered, however, from prolonged drought and irresponsible water management that has left water resources scant and overwrought. Unless profound changes are made in how the region handles its water and from where the water is sourced, these extremely populated areas will become uninhabitable very soon.

Tribes have a tremendous amount of groundwater rights that have yet to be quantified under the doctrine of federal reserved water rights. Asserting tribal water rights may not have been necessary in the past, but now as populations surge in the West, tribes may need to protect their reservations, and any potential rights, from problematic state water practices.
