- Summary:
- Analyzes the legislative history and provisions of the Wilderness Act, and the reasoning behind the contradictory opinions of a Federal district court and the Solicitor of the Interior Department, to determine whether a wilderness area designation implies a reservation of Federal water rights. Also discusses relevant Supreme Court decisions, problems of wilderness areas that are located midcourse on water sources, and possible mechanisms for problem resolution.
