Reserved Water Rights For

Federal And Indian

Reservations: A Growing

Controversy In -Need Of Resolution



Undetermined Federal and Indian reserved
water rights in the Western States are causing
great uncertainties about existing water uses
and for potential water users. This report dis-
cusses the origin and nature of reserved water
rights, the controversial questions and issues
surrounding them, and proposals suggested for
resolving them.

There is an urgent need to settle the problem
because the controversy is becoming more
acute as new and existing water uses place
greater demands on thr limited water supply
in the Western States. T his report endorses
the President's recently announced water
policy initiative which directs the Federal
agencies to resolve the reserved water rights
issues.

GAO recommends that the Congress review
the Federal agencies' progress in carrying out
the programs implementing the policy initia-
tive.
