Three kinds of water: watercourses, groundwater and surface water.
Two kinds of water rights in watercourses: riparian and prior appropriation (I had it first)
Five kinds of groundwater rights: Absolute, reasonable use, correlative rights, appropriative rights and the Restatement
Three ways that liability is determined for re-direction of surface water: natural flow, common enemy and reasonable use
Of course the odds are low that there will be more than an MBE or two on water rights, and probably no essays on it. More likely conveyance, security interests, estates and landlord/tenant law. So do I bother trying to stuff this minutia in?
A roll of the dice. . . tomorrow we march on to criminal law and procedure and leave real property in the dust.
