Topics include declarations of policy, general obligations and prohibitions, waters subject to allocation, protection of minimum flows or levels, administrative authority, planning responsibilities, disputes and enforcement, establishing a water right, scope of the water right, multijurisdictional transfers, and water conservation and supply augmentation.

The Appropriative Rights Model Water Code provides a model of a coherent body of law that can be utilized to improve existing water allocation laws in states committed to appropriative rights. Appropriative rights takes its name from the legal requirement that water be "appropriated" and applied to a "beneficial use" in order for one to acquire the right to use it. Today, appropriative rights remain in the predominant body of law for the quantitative allocation of water in the 18 states west of Kansas City. This committee report originated from a detailed review of existing water allocation laws in these states. A hydrologically based legal framework that balances human and environmental needs, the Appropriative Rights Model Water Code integrates the management of water quality and water quantity and takes into consideration the appropriate social, economical, political, and administrative aspects of water management.
