- Title
Ownership of Nevada Water Rights May Be Severed From Ownership of Land on Which Water Has Been Used.
- Abstract
The article reports on the decision of the Supreme Court that under the Nevada law, water rights may be transferred separately from property to which they are appurtenant without prior severance for use at a different place of use. It is said that prospective purchases of irrigated lands cannot assume that the water rights used for such irrigation are held by the landowner as a result. Moreover, the court also considered whether Nevada's antispeculation doctrine limited the ability to acquire a security or ownership interest in a water right separately from the land to which the right is appurtenant.
