Show v v'' ..*\** Federal lands provide most of the water for the 11 Western states. Much of it originates as snow, which nourishes the watershed each spring. Limitation of Reservation Doctrine Recommendation 56: The implied reservation doctrine of water rights for federally reserved lands should be clarified and limited by Congress in at least four ways: (a) amounts of water claimed, both surface and underground, should be formally established; (b) procedures for contesting each claim should be provided; (c) water requirements for future reservations should be expressly reserved; and (d) compensation should be awarded where interference results with claims valid under state law before the decision in Arizona v. California. Although state law appears to be generally adequate as a basis for water rights for uses on reserved public lands, the reservation doctrine should not be abrogated. To do so and to require the public land 146 agencies to rely solely on state law for the acquisition of water rights for reserved land uses presents several problems: (1) In some states important Federal uses, such as for recreation or fish and wildlife purposes, are either not recognized as beneficial uses or have low preferences vis-a-vis other competing uses. (2) The implied reservation doctrine provides the necessary water rights for certain Federal uses and future needs for which state law has not been complied with for one reason or another. To discard the reservation doctrine might well place the validity of those rights in question and inject further uncertainty into this area. Nevertheless, the implied reservation doctrine as announced and applied in Arizona v. California8 has created many problems. Numerous unanswered questions about its scope and impact remain. The n. 5, supra. |
