Some of the water rights in the west go back centuries and were put in place by the Spaniards.

The underlying economic and political power of the Mormons in Utah flow from the fact that they prior appropriated large amounts water there.

First in time, first in right.

Oh well if the Spaniards did it that settles it. What a croc..this isn’t about water rights ...it’s about government tyranny! The government takes the rights that sheep allow. If I take a walk in the mud and the water from the next storm is trapped in my footprints am I guilty of stealing the states water!!
