Each of the following is a category of surface water use law in the United States, except:
  1. Doctrine of Prior Appropriation
  2. Homesteader’s Rights
  3. Natural Flow
  4. Reasonable Use
Explanation
Answer: B - Homesteader’s Rights is not a category of surface water use law in the United States. The Doctrine of Prior Appropriation is used primarily in the western US and means that no persons can own water in a stream, but all have the right to use it in constructive manners. Natural Flow and Reasonable Use are two kinds of Riparian Water Rights that give more credence to landowners adjacent to the waterway.
