Modeling the transfer of land and water from agricultural to urban uses in the Middle Rio Grande Basin, New Mexico.

The Wetlands Coverage of the Clean Water Act Is Revisited by the Supreme Court: Rapanos v. United States

Description: Twice in the past, the Supreme Court has grappled with issues as to the geographic scope of the wetlands permitting program in the federal Clean Water Act (CWA).
