Those regions in California where land meets water—along the state’s 1,100-mile coastline, in San Francisco Bay and along California’s extensive system of lakes and rivers—constitute some of the state’s most valuable real estate…. It is no surprise that many of California’s most pitched property rights and environmental battles have arisen in these coastal areas.

But it also will severely test—and likely require changes to—California’s law of water boundaries.
