In English common law\, the "rule of capture" allowe
d people to capture and possess wild animals wherever found\, regardless
of whose land the animals originally occupied. Translated into the law of
underground resources\, the capture rule became known as "the law of the
biggest pump" because the biggest users of underground resources (such a
s water or oil) received the largest share of the resource without regard
to equitable principles of allocation. Although in some areas of the law
the doctrine has been limited or abolished\, it remains an active doctri
ne in other areas.
In commemoration of the 200th anniversary
of the Lewis and Clark expedition\, which opened the West up to pioneers
