Such a decision process is the premise of the despotic hydraulic empire in Karl A. Wittfogel's Oriental Despotism: A Comparative Study of Total Power. As applied to the modern world, in a despotic realm, decisions regarding water use may be determined by bureaucratic fiat, But where democracy prevails decisions are made by some form of water law, a process heavily influenced by traditional and potential water users.
