Abstract

The U.S. Supreme Court established in Sporhase v. Nebraska a new interstate groundwater policy based on the commerce clause. The policy is designed to protect national unity and to promote resource allocative efficiency by widening the market. However, it deprives states of clear knowledge of the quantity of groundwater available to them. Consequently states will find it difficult to plan and manage the use of their water rationally. The articles in this case study examine the legal, economic, and social implications of the new policy.
