Vermont v. State of New York

Vermont v. New York was a legal dispute in 1963 where Vermont sued New York over groundwater rights and water use. Vermont claimed New York was diverting water from shared sources, such as the Lake Champlain Basin, in ways that harmed Vermont's environment and water supply. The case centered on interstate water rights and the regulation of water resources that cross state borders. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled that New York’s activities did not violate Vermont’s rights, emphasizing the importance of interstate cooperation and the equitable sharing of shared water resources.
