Excerpt from Water Rights on Interstate Streams: The Platte River and Tributaries; Results of Investigation, Water Rights Within the States The law prescribing the work to be done by this Office originally provided for the investigation of the laws Of the-states and Terri tories as affecting irrigation and the rights of appropriators. Under this provision studies of the laws Of several of the States have been made. In 1903 this law was changed by adding to the above clause, and Of riparian proprietors. In response to many requests from the people interested in the control and use of water of the streams flowing east from the Rocky Mountains, a study of the laws affecting the distribution of the water of the Platte River and its tributaries was begun in 1903.

"In this volume are collected all of the interstate compacts presently in force among States of the American Union which apportion or govern the consumptive use of the waters of interstate streams, which have to do with the prevenion or amelioration of pollution of such waters, or which deal with the control of floods and problems associated therewith. This volume also includes, either by reference or in full text, all those like compacts which, though ratified by at least one State, did not come into force because of the failure of ratification by another party or because the consent of the Congress was not given. In addition, there are collected in it the treaties between the United States and Canada or Mexico and the decisions of the United States Supreme Court in interstate litigation which cover the three subjects outlined above."--Page iii.
