This 40-page PDF document is a chapter from a book on coalbed methane. This chapter presents a summary of general water planning issues, including water classifications and water rights as they pertain to CBM produced water. Emphasis is given to five western states - Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico - because these states have a combination of significant existing and/or potential coalbed methane resource issues; high quality groundwater in coals and considerable water needs. Also included are informative tables, maps and diagrams.
