Water Law

No natural resource is more important than water, which we need for everything from drinking to generating power. But because we use it for so many things, even abundant water sources can quickly become overused, which is why it is essential to save and regulate water. Mann & Kemp has a detailed understanding of water rights in Arkansas. Our team of water rights lawyers have experience representing an array of clients, ensuring that everyone has access to this critical resource and takes proper care of it. Our goal is to guarantee that every Arkansan has clean, abundant water for all their needs.

Everyone has a right to water, which is why Mann & Kemp represents clients of all stripes. We are particularly adept at defending the rights of:

Local Governments

As their populations and economies grow, counties and municipalities often find the water resources they started out with are no longer sufficient to meet their needs. When this happens, they often have to obtain access to additional water sources, which may currently be under the control of a different government or landowner. We help cities and counties secure new water sources while respecting the rights of the original owners, achieving a sustainable solution that everyone can accept.

Utility Companies

Utilities have a responsibility to supply all their customers with clean, fresh water. We help them fulfill this responsibility, whether by applying for access to new water sources, pushing back against polluters, or taking any other step to preserve local water.

Private Firms

From manufacturing, farming or energy generation, virtually every business activity requires at least some water. Mann & Kemp makes sure that private companies can carry out even the most water- intensive activities efficiently, all while avoiding pollution or overuse.

Individuals

Whether you operate a family farm or simply need water for cooking and cleaning, we will uphold your rights. Water plays a critical role in health and sanitation for you and your family, so if you have any problems accessing it, don’t hesitate to give us a call.

Mann & Kemp recognizes the essential role that water plays in our lives, which is why we never let up on a water rights case. We have brought water suits all the way to the State Water Resources Control Board, and will provide the same commitment and perseverance for your case. No matter how serious the issue or what steps need to be taken, you can count on us to restore your access to clean water.
