Great Lakes Law Blog Debuts
April 13, 2008 | Posted by Michael "Aquadoc" Campana
Professor Noah D. Hall of the Wayne State University Law School recently started the Great Lakes Law blog. Wayne State is home to the Great Lakes Environmental Law Center, of which Hall is the Executive Director.
He describes his blog thusly:
A Blog on All Things Wet and Legal in the Great Lakes Region by Professor Noah Hall
If the first posts are any indication, then this will be a significant addition to the waterblogosphere. There are posts about bottled water issues, the Great Lakes Compact (hey, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson: check these out) and a nifty little post about ‘Groundwater and the Public Trust Doctrine’, replete with a short document about GW and the PTD in Michigan:

He also provides some Congressional testimony about Federal and State laws regarding bottled water industry, providing an overview and recommendations:

And view this article by Coral Davenport from Congressional Quarterly’s weekly magazine, CQ Weekly:

This is going to be an important source - not just a rehash of material from elsewhere, but some serious analysis by Hall, and not necessarily Great Lakes-specific.
Welcome to the waterblogosphere, Noah!
“But never underestimate the ability of the federal government to waste billions of dollars of taxpayer money on a dumb water project.” – Noah D. Hall, 1 April 2008
