In a brief span of eight years, the regulatory jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act changed five times. During this same time, five cases dealing with the issue went before the Supreme Court. The instability exhibited around the protection of water at the federal level is indicative of broader political changes. The result is that water policy has served as the battle lines in a larger battle over how to interpret the Constitution.
Brad Mapes-Martin's doctoral work is political science, but his area of expertise is in environmental policy, emphasizing federal water law. As an undergraduate, he studied policy's role in causing and mitigating water issues in Olympia, Washington. In recent years, he shifted his focus to the district-level factors influencing Congressional water protection support.
