Abstract:
Surface water rights in Texas are developed based on “Prior Appropriation Doctrine”. The Texas Water Availability Model, a computer-based simulation model based on water rights priority order, has been used for computing the amount of water supply and determining the amount of water available for a newly requested water right for the past several years. This study compares the water rights priority and natural priority orders by applying it to the largest sixteen reservoirs in the Brazos River Basin, Texas. The water supply reliability, reservoir storage frequency, and stream flows are analyze

Abstract:
Texas water law is not a model of clarity. As a body of law, it is riddled with jargon, double-meaning, and esoteric context that can sometimes read and work like a Rube Goldberg device. Landowners not trained in the dark arts of Texas water rights and regulation are often (rightfully) frustrated with attempts to understand, exercise, market, and simply explain one of the most important property rights in Texas agriculture. Fear not. While not a categorical truth, much of Texas’ water law can be translated into a language that is helpful to those involved in Texas agriculture. The authors give

Abstract:
Water rights transfers for surface water have taken place in El Paso County in far west Texas for many decades. Historically, these exchanges have primarily occurred between agricultural water users. In recent decades, there have also been transfers from agricultural uses to urban uses. Ongoing commercial and demographic expansion in the El Paso metropolitan economy increases the likelihood of additional farm-to-municipal transfers in future years. Although legal mechanisms have periodically been introduced to allow these exchanges to occur, pricing has not played a central role in the process

Abstract:
In Texas, water is on everyone’s minds. Between a raging drought, an expanding oil and gas industry, and a whirring media machine, Texans find themselves in great conflict on how to maintain a tradition and a booming industry while conserving the very resource that allows their presence in the first place: water. Water has become an important part of oil and gas exploration, and this fact has kept it well within the reach of those who lease the mineral interests. Texas law promotes such exploration by granting these lessees the rights to the reasonable use of the land’s subsurface water so tha

Because of the decline of the Ogallala Aquifer, water districts, regional water managers, and state water officers are becoming increasingly interested in conservation policies. This study evaluates both short-term and long-term water rights buyout policies. This research develops dynamic production functions for the major crops in the Texas Panhandle. The production functions are incorporated into optimal temporal allocation models that project annual producer behavior, crop choices, water use, and aquifer declines over 60 years.

Texas is the last remaining state to utilize the rule of capture, a doctrine based on English Common Law, as a means of regulating groundwater resources. Many of the western states originally used the rule of capture to regulate their groundwater resources, but over time, each of these states replaced the rule of capture with other groundwater laws and regulations.

This chapter discusses the questions of who owns or has a right to use groundwater, how much can they use, where can they use it, and can their water rights be sold? The rules and laws addressing these critical questions have not come easy, and remain highly controversial. This chapter discusses these questions as they have played out in three western states (Texas, New Mexico, and California), as well as Spain and Australia. California’s 2014 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act is used to illustrate many of the challenges.

In the two texts concerning Muna Qan, An Extensive Prayer to the Glorious Muna Qan: The Immediate Wish-Granting Jewel Herein and The Smoke Offering and Offering to Glorious Muna Qan and to the Masters of Water Called the Jewel Mighty King, Mergen Gegeen attempts to convert a local pre-Buddhist deity Muna Qan into a protector of the Dharma.

Abstract:
Although there is good evidence that irrigation played an important role in Roman agriculture, it has so far received too little attention. This paper seeks to address the subject of its funding at different scales. Among the different choices landholders had to make, investments in hydraulic infrastructure were guided by their particular needs for cultivation and breeding, the environmental context, and the management of a natural and sometimes limited resource. The attention is here turned towards the financial, human, and material nature of the investment required. The cross-reading of archaeological sources with literary and legal texts shows that the costs of irrigation in single estates varied according to the technical constraints (length and construction of the conduit, necessity to store water, etc.), but the efforts made to invest also reflect the profits expected. A key element concerning investments towards irrigation, in any case, lies in the access to water. In that respect, Roman law played an essential role through servitude rights.

Abstract:
‘Scott Unbound’ shows how thinking about print in the 1820s and 1830s in a disaggregated, messy and material way, and seeing it as part of a new media world of performance, text, and image, can help us to think differently about the immense cross-class popularity of Walter Scott’s work. Right from the start, Scott’s powerful Romantic presence as the literary author of books rested on ‘Scott’ as a multimedia phenomenon. Taking the nineteenth-century print serial seriously challenges assumptions about what a ‘book’ might be. By unbinding Scott’s work, this chapter disperses his texts and restores them to their original promiscuous sociability. The Romantic idea of the author is complicated through the remediations of the multi-genre productions of ‘The Magician of the North’ (a.k.a. Walter Scott), and the phenomenon of ‘Scott’ in the early nineteenth century is produced by the generative possibilities of the serial more than has been previously recognized.

Full text
Abstract:
In adopting a more overt emigration-immigration parallel, this chapter connects cultural texts focusing on the Mediterranean Sea, and in particular the Channel of Sicily for its bridging and dividing function between the European and the African continents. In the cultural melting pot of the Mediterranean basin, this chapter identifies less a place of fluid encounters and exchanges than one of tensions, struggled-for opportunities, and even mortal dangers. The blurring of emigrant and immigrant desires and failures in Vincenzo Marra’s 2001 film Tornando a casa (Sailing Home), the coexistence of painful legacies of emigration and slavery in Kym Ragusa’s 2006 memoir The Skin Between Us: A Memoir of Race, Beauty and Belonging, and the survival-driven urge to flee Northern Africa for the post-colonial subject in Feven Abreha Tekle’s 2005 as-told-to self-narrative Libera are all staged, either partially or fully, in a Mediterranean that functions as a pre-occupied space. Occupied by previous stories of demographic and cultural movements, this sea now hosts new concerns over economic stability, human rights protection, and racial tolerance, as well as new possibilities. Geographer Edward Soja’s concept of “Thirdspace,” developed off of Henri Lefebvre’s space trialectics, is adopted to recognize the transformative power of international waters over national identities.

Full text
Abstract:
In a global maritime empire, travel was intrinsic. As sailors and slavers, traders and hunters, Europeans traversed colonized space and literacy gave them the power to record what they saw and found. In their mapping and classification of lands and peoples, many of these travellers helped to commodify and package the resources of empire. In their fulsome descriptions of the riches of overseas territories, they made these lands and all that they contained desirable to prospective hunters, settlers, speculators, and administrators. The direct uses that imperial powers made of traveller’s accounts were hinted at in 1887 by British explorer and geologist Joseph Thomson, in a note to the second edition of his best-selling Through Masai Land. “Then [1885] Masai land was for the first time made known to the world; now it has come within the “sphere of British influence”—a delicate way, I suppose, of saying that it now practically forms a part of our imperial possessions.’ In fact British East Africa, of which Maasailand formed a large part, was not established for another eight years, in 1895. But Thomson anticipated accurately: having ‘discovered’ and mapped a direct route from the coast to Lake Victoria, which cut right across Maasailand to Uganda, and described the rich pickings (including fertile land, valuable pastures, water sources, timber, and game animals) that lay along the route, he had paved the way for European trade and takeover. Sir John Kirk, British agent and consul at Zanzibar, wrote that Thomson’s ‘admirable description is the only reliable one we yet possess of the region thus secured to us, if we choose to avail ourselves of the opportunity’. Britain, anxious about Germany’s competitive ambitions, duly took it. From the mid-eighteenth century a particular kind of traveller did more than most to promote the natural potential of empire: those who combined touring with botany and other scientific, or quasi-scientific, enquiries. The avid collection of specimens—from fauna and flora through, in some cases, to human body parts—had become an adjunct to the European adventurer’s taxonomy of the natural world. Since European expansion coincided with the development of print, as illustrated in our chapter on hunting, the production and publication of texts became a by-product of travel.

Abstract:
The raw facts alone make mountains worthy of geographic interest: mountains constitute 25 per cent of the earth’s surface; they are home to 26 per cent of the world’s populace; and generate 32 per cent of global surface run-off (Meybeck et al. 2001). More than half the global population depends directly on mountain environments for the natural resources of water, food, power, wood, and minerals; and mountains contain high biological diversity; hence they are important in crop diversity and crop stability (Ives 1992; Smethurst 2000; UNFAO 2000). Elevation, relief, and differences in aspect make mountains excellent places to study all processes, human and physical: high energy systems make mountains some of the most inhospitable of environments for people and their livelihoods, and strikingly distinct changes in environment over short distances make mountains ideally suited to the study of earth surface processes. Mountains are often political and cultural borders, or in some cases, political, cultural, and biological islands. With ever-increasing populations placing ever-increasing environmental pressure on mountains, mountain environments are heavily impacted and are therefore quickly changing. Moreover, they are more susceptible to adverse impacts than lowlands and are degrading accordingly. Whatever environmental change or damage happens to mountain peoples and environments then moves to lower elevations, thus affecting all. Three seminal texts indicate an ongoing interest in mountain geography: the oldest, Peattie (1936), is still in print; the newest, Messerli and Ives (1997) is contemporary; and Price (1981) is now being rewritten. Indeed, mountain geography as a field in its own right has led to the recent formation of the Mountain Geography Specialty Group of the Association of American Geographers (Friend 1999). With increasing importance placed on sustainability science (Kates et al. 2001), mountain geography is at the cutting edge of inter- and multidisciplinary research that serves to unify rather than further specialize scholarly geography (Friend 1999). The United Nations proclaimed 2002 the International Year of Mountains and has devoted an entire chapter (13) of its Agenda 21 from the Rio Earth Summit to mountain sustainable development (Friend 1999; Ives and Messerli 1997; Ives et al. 1997a, b; Messerli and Ives 1997; Sène and McGuire 1997; UNFAO 1999, 2000).

Flooding is a major source of concern for Texas’ coastal communities. It affects the quality of infrastructure, the lives of citizens, and the ecological systems upon which coastal communities in Texas rely. To plan for and mitigate the impacts of flooding, Texas coastal communities may implement land use tools such as zoning, drainage utility systems, eminent domain, exactions, and easements.
