The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and Federal Water Rights
This report discusses federal authority over water, and federal "reserved" and non-reserved water rights.

The amount of the federal right is likely to vary from river to river depending on the river's flows, the unappropriated flows in the river at the time of designation, and the values for which the river is being protected.
