Water quality is increasingly intertwined with water rights and water supply.  Municipalities, industries and individuals generally require a clean source of water for domestic use and numerous other purposes.  Those same entities and individuals must also comply with federal and state regulatory requirements once that water is released following its use.  Local requirements and ancillary environmental issues, impacts to riparian vegetation, wetlands, and aquatic life might also need to be addressed for both water quality and quantity.

The crucial issues that are involved in water law and water rights are almost invariably tied, in one way or another, to issues of accountability in ownership and the lawfully responsible use of the land, from federally owned open forests and fields to state, municipal, and private property.
