Water law is a specialized area of law that deals with the regulation and management of water resources, including rivers, lakes, groundwater, and other sources of water. This area of law governs issues such as water rights, water allocation, pollution control, and water use restrictions. Water law often involves a complex interplay of federal, state, and local regulations, as well as international treaties and agreements. The goal of water law is to ensure sustainable, equitable, and efficient use of water resources for the benefit of society and the environment.
