Water is one of the most important resources used by humans, and one with a very long history of legal regulation as well as scholarly treatment. Yet, despite its practical importance and theoretical richness, water law is at best peripheral to legal studies in most places. This course will introduce participants to the history and theory of the major systems of water law in Canada and beyond, paying particular and critical attention to the property regimes evident in various systems.
