This page has major issues. The concept of prior appropriation is extremely important to water management in the western United States. The history section here is just incorrect. Prior appropriation water rights did not spring from a Colorado court decision in 1872. It originated in 1855 in California during the gold mining boom, but was influenced by Mormons, Spanish, and Mexican customs and practices. See e.g.:
