Kansas v. Colorado

December 7, 2004543 U.S. 86

Summary

The Court overrules all exceptions filed by Kansas to the Special Master's Fourth Report, adopting the recommendations rejecting appointment of a River Master, limiting prejudgment interest to post-1985 damages, and requiring a 10-year measurement period for compliance monitoring. The Court held that the Special Master could resolve technical disputes and that equitable principles limited Kansas's interest claim.
