Look up "commerce clause". John Marshall was the first to issue a ruling that Congress' power extended to navigable waters and regulation there did not abridge any riparian rights of adjoining landowners.

The Founders were apparently quite happy with that. If you have a dispute with the idea take it up with the courts; not me. Entirely too much water under the bridge to be able to handle all the combinations and permuations in a single thread.
