''Colorado River Water Conservation District v. United States'', 424 U.S. 800 (1976), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States created a new doctrine of abstention, to prevent duplicative litigation between state and federal courts. ==Background== In the Southwestern United States, water scarcity was (and remains) a critical problem. The McCarran Amendment, , was a statute enacted by United States Congress in 1952〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode43/usc_sec_43_00000666----000-notes.html )〕 allowing the United States to be joined as a defendant in certain suits concerning the adjudication or administration of rights to use of waters. In 1969, the state of Colorado enacted a law to attempt to reorganize the procedure for legal determination of water claims within the state. The procedure that Colorado created divided the state into seven Water Divisions, each one encompassing one or more drainage basins for the largest rivers in the state. Each month, Water Referees in each division would rule on applications for water rights, or refer the case to a Water Judge, who would rule on referred or contested applications on a six-month schedule, applying the prior appropriation doctrine. A State Engineer, along with engineers for each division, were responsible for the administration and distribution of waters in each division.
