Water Rights Seminar
September 4, 3:00pm - 4:15pmManoa Campus, MSB 114
Water rights in Hawaii are supposed to be governed by a detailed Water Code, carefully drafted and enacted after years of public hearings and discussion. After months of expensive and time-consuming public hearings, resolution of many issues (minimum stream flows, environmental and native Hawaiian rights, private property rights) resulted from a comprehensive decision by the Water Board entrusted by the Water Code with the enforcement of our water laws. Regrettably, the state supreme court in a series of decisions failed to uphold either the Water Board or our Water Code, substituting a tortured version of the public trust doctrine for our statutory framework and ignoring planning mandates contained in the Water Code. The result is a virtual destruction of private rights in water.
