note = "Funding Information: The late Michael C. Meyer's scholarly interest in Spanish and Mexican water law can be traced to his involvement in the 1970s as an expert witness in the long-standing water rights case State of New Mexico v. R. Lee AamoAt. Aware of my own passion for the study of Spanish colonial law, he invited me to serve as his research assistant while I was studying for my doctorate in history at the University of Arizona in the 1990s. Between 1997 and 2007, when Professor Meyer passed away unexpectedly, we worked together on several research projects related to the subject matter, including this essay. I express my sincerest gratitude to the Meyer family-his wife, Goldalee, and his children, Scott, Debbie, and Sharon- for their continued support of my own research and scholarship. Several funding agencies have provided me with important resources that have sustained my water rights research: Arizona State Museum, Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society, Fulbright-Carlos Rico Scholar Award for North American Studies, Gerda Henkel Foundation (Dusseldorf, Germany), James E. Rogers College of Law at the University of Arizona, and the Office of the Vice President for Research, also at the University of Arizona.",
