Abstract
Tribes have a tremendous amount of groundwater rights that have yet to be quantified under the doctrine of federal reserved water rights. Asserting tribal water rights may not have been necessary in the past, but now as populations surge in the West, tribes may need to protect their reservations, and any potential rights, from problematic state water practices.
