Disputes concerning the regulation and use of water in the Murray-Darling Basin have now reached a critical point where extended periods of extreme drought and climate change have forced threats of High Court litigation. Whilst a number of similar threats have been made since settlement, no court has ever made an authoritative judgment on such water disputes. As such, many important questions about the rights of States and their residents to take and use water remain unresolved. Professor Williams and Matthew Lee assess both the genesis and development of water law in Australia in order to provide an explanation of how we have arrived at this current water crisis.

Water belongs in one of two categories:
• surface water, consisting of watercourses, lakes, springs, marshes,
ponds, sloughs, and any other water flowing over the surface of the
earth caused by rain, snow, springs or seepage; or
• ground water, consisting of percolating, subterranean bodies of water
located in underground basins.1
Holders of rights to withdraw surface waters have riparian rights. Holders
of rights to pump ground water have overlying rights.
The legal rights to extract and use water are based on priorities and are
classified as:
• landowner’s rights consisting of both riparian and overlying rights;

• appropriative rights to withdraw water under license from the state;
and
• prescriptive rights to withdraw water legally entitled to be used by
others.
Riparian rights refer to a landowner’s appurtenant property right to
withdraw water from an adjacent river or lake for beneficial use on their
riparian land.
Overlying rights refer to a landowner’s right to the use of ground water
below the surface of their land.
An overlying landowner has rights to an allotment of water which is
measured by the ground water in the basin over which their land is located.
Overlying landowners have equal rights against other overlying landowners
to a basin’s ground water percolating underneath their land, subject to their
reasonable use of the water.
Overlying and riparian rights are legally analogous to one another, except
for the limitations placed on overlying landowners to use ground water and
riparian landowners to use surface water.2
A landowner’s use of water in the exercise of their riparian or overlying
water rights has priority over water rights held by appropriators licensed by
the state.
Riparian and overlying water rights are part of the ownership of land, and
run with the title to the land when it is sold. Water rights are not personal
property which can be assigned or used for the benefit of other property.
Riparian land is a parcel of real estate located both adjacent to a water
source with surface water and within the watershed (basin) of the surface

Draft State Right to Water Bill 2015 Ver 4.0Anupam Saraph
The result of more than 5 years of efforts of river activists across India and Policy-makers of various State and National Water Policies, under the leadership of Raincatcher and Waterman, Magsaysay Award winner Dr. Rajendrasingh, here is a draft Right to Water Bill for States.
This ‘Right to Water Act 2015’ empowers the citizens and the local-bodies a right, and not a privilege, to discharge their responsibility of protection, conservation and restoration of all water bodies for enabling the right to equitable access and abundant quantity of quality water responsibly abstracted from the water cycle for wholesome sustenance and dignity of citizens and all life forms.
Which State's will see it prudent to deliver this legal framework to its citizens this year?

Water policy has long been a driving force for Florida’s development. Early history saw efforts to drain the Everglades to attract people. Water has again become a topic of discussion at the
federal, state, and local levels. Today water is discussed in terms of supply, demand, quantity, quality, preservation, restoration, conservation, harvesting, aquifers, well fields, stormwater, and
potable water. As water policy evolves, so does its influence on development and how we live. Hear from state experts on how water law and its policy have evolved from a history of draining the Everglades to a future of hydrating them.
Draft National River Restoration Bill 2014 Ver 5.0Anupam Saraph
The result of more than 5 years of efforts of river activists across India and Policy-makers of various State and National Water Policies, under the leadership of Raincatcher and Waterman, Magsaysay Award winner Dr. Rajendrasingh, here is a draft River Restoration Bill.
There is not a single water body in India that does not face encroachment, pollution or exploitation. As a consequence India is moving from being water stressed to water scarce. The riverine ecosystems are fast being destroyed and the fabric of nature’s ability to support the Indian economy will be irreversibly lost unless the water bodies are protected and conserved. Increasingly the economic performance of India is suffering due to the inability of the water bodies to sustain encroachment, pollution and exploitation of their resources often attributed to a failed monsoon.
The growing urbanization and industrialization continues to increase demand and fuel conflicts of access, equity and availability of the resources of the water bodies. Encroachment and unnatural interventions on the water bodies has increased the draught and flood cycles causing the naturally self-regulating water cycle to be disturbed. Climate change further threatens the predictable rain patterns and the seasonal monsoon making water bodies vulnerable to encroachment and exploitation thus causing increasing disappearance of water bodies that have supported India for thousands of years. The resultant loss of resilience to support life, livelihood and an economy across the districts of India is making India extremely vulnerable to sudden disaster and economic collapse.
As a signatory to the United Nations resolution on Right to Water and Sanitation, and as reiterated by the National Water Policy of 2012 there is an urgent need to provide for the security of water bodies to safeguard and secure our waterbodies for not only today but for generations.

This ‘Clean Ganga Act 2014’ is a draft to provide a enduring mechanism to ensure "suitable means for maintenance of ecological flow." as promised by the government to the court. It aims to empower citizens and local-bodies to discharge their responsibility of protection, conservation and restoration of the lost glory of the Ganga and all water bodies across the country.
This draft is the result of more than 5 years of efforts of river activists across India and Policy-makers of various State and National Water Policies, under the leadership of Raincatcher and Waterman, Magsaysay Award winner Dr. Rajendrasingh.

The application consumes very low space in disk. Therefore, the user can allocate very minimum local disk space for this application.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
