Upstream: Adjudicating the Snake River Basin

by Randy Stapilus

The Snake River Basin Adjudication may be the largest stream adjudication the United States has ever seen. It has also become one of the most successful, heading toward conclusion within a generation of its launch, far faster than most. This book, drawn from the pages of more than 16 years of The Snake River Basin Adjudication Digest, shows how it happened - conflicts, settlements, false starts and unexpected leaps.
