The general conclusion is reached thai " under existing physical conditions and in 

 view of the dates of the acquirement of existing rights, the enforcemenl of rights as 

 based on the laws of the three States will do no substantial injustice to the irrigators 

 in anyone of the States. As between the States, therefore, the whole question 

 resolves itself into the matter of distributing the water of these streams to existing 

 rights regardless of State lines. This can be accomplished bj agreemenl between the 

 States, and if it is not done in thai way justice will demand thai the Federal Gov- 

 ernmenl piw ide for this distribution." 



( in the subjecl of water rights \\ ithin States this reporl emphasizes the importance 

 of retaining the ownership of the water in the possession of the owners and opera- 

 tors of the land. The character of water rights in differenl state- is discussed 

 with reference to their influence upon the ownership of water, [n Colorado the 

 righl i" a certain number of cubic feel of water per second is granted to ditch com- 

 panies, whereas in Wyoming and Nebraska the certificate of appropriation names 

 the appropriator and the diverting ditch, butgivesto the land described a righl to 

 water sufficienl for its irrigation, fixing, however, a maximum limil to the amounl 

 which can be taken.
